The salt on the sidewalks and roads can cause chemical burn on your dog's paw pads. A few ways you can ensure they stay protected include, wiping their paws after walks., using a paw balm which contains organic Beeswax acting as a natural barrier between your pup’s paws and the snow. And lastly, a pair of booties to protect from ice and snow.
The best way to protect your dog from the cold air is to watch their exposure to the cold. Shorten walks and outside time when the temperature drops. If your dog is comfortable wearing winter attire, you can opt for a dog winter jacket or harness to help keep them warm during walks.
Be mindful of your dog’s proximity to vents and space heaters. Although they keep you and your family warm during the winter, they are too warm for your dog to be snuggling up next to.
