LOS ANGELES, Aug. 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The 2026 Pet Innovation Awards today announced that the 3-in-1 Paw Ointment for Dogs from Gou Gou Pets, a company dedicated to providing holistic and natural products for pets, has been awarded “Dog Skin & Coat Product of the Year.” The Pet Innovation Awards is an independent recognition platform highlighting the most innovative companies, services, and products in the highly competitive Pet care industry. The 8th annual awards program highlights solutions and products shaping the future of pet care, from nutrition and wellness to grooming and safety.
Gou Gou Pets 3-in-1 Paw Ointment for Dogs conditions skin and addresses the unique needs of a dog’s paws. Offering advanced care for pets through a holistic, naturally-derived formula, it also aids circulation and reduces inflammation from trauma. 3-in-1 Paw Ointment has been specifically formulated for swelling, discomfort, sores, blistering, discoloration, or cracked skin. The product moisturizes and conditions and provides essential protection against frozen paws, heat burns, and sores in extreme cold and hot weather.
The ointment’s advanced technology eliminates dark color stains and strong odors, and the plant-based formula alleviates the inflammation and swelling caused by harsh climates. Ingredients include Ginseng to stop bleeding, relieve stagnation and invigorate the blood, stopping pain, and reducing swelling; Salvia Miltiorrhiza cools the blood and eliminates abscesses; Angelica Root Tail reduces swelling, expels pus, and regenerates skin; Astragalus Root treats numbness, paralysis, and painful obstructions; Rhizoma Bletillae helps to stop the bleeding with astringent actions, reducing swelling and promoting healing.
The product is free from alcohol, fragrances, greasy residues, chemicals, artificial or synthetic substances, and sulfates. It can be used cross-species for safe care in cats as well.
“Our Paw Ointment for Dogs is the result of extensive research and development. We’ve crafted this product using highly concentrated, natural, clean antioxidants and herbs. This unique blend ensures that your dog’s paws receive the best possible care, helping to maintain their health and comfort in any condition,” said Dr. Mary Zhang, Founder and CEO of Gou Gou Pets. “Thank you to Pet Innovation for this award. As a licensed acupuncturist with over 25 years of experience, I’m proud that our herbal blended formulated products are natural and plant-based. We will continue to deliver solutions that exceed the expectations of today’s pet parents.”
