Winter walks can be fun, but icy sidewalks pose a paw-blem. Traditional ice melts can be toxic to dogs, so choose wisely!
Winter Woes
Look for pet-safe ice melts made with urea or magnesium acetate. These are less harmful if ingested and won't irritate your dog's paws.
Safe Options
Choose pellet or chunk forms over powder. This minimizes the risk of your pup accidentally ingesting a large amount.
Treats
Apply ice melt only on walkways, not where your dog might play or sniff. Rinse paws thoroughly after walks, and keep bags and containers out of reach.
Play Safe
Consider protective booties for extra paw-tection, especially on long walks or in heavily salted areas.
Blizzards
Ensure your dog has access to fresh water after walks, especially if they've licked their paws. Dehydration can be a hidden danger.
Hydration
Enjoy the winter wonderland with your furry companion! Remember, safety first, and always prioritize your dog's well-being.
