Winter weather can pose a few risks to your dog’s well-being, particularly their paws. Snow and ice can increase your dog’s risk of frostbite and dry out their paw pads, leaving the skin chapped or cracked.
Like our chapped lips, cracked paws can be annoying and painful. Plus, built up snow and ice can irritate the sensitive skin between their toes.
Not only are the elements dangerous, sidewalk salt and chemicals can cause chemical burns to their paw pads or indigestion if your dog tries to lick it off.
