As temperatures drop and that wet white stuff starts falling, I’d like to remind you, on behalf of your canine family members, to PLEASE watch where we’re walking! Ice-melting chemicals commonly used on public streets can irritate and burn our paws. Avoid walking your dog in areas where these are used, and be sure to rinse off his feet whenever he is exposed to such chemicals.
For your own deck, porch, driveway or sidewalk, try one of many pet-safe ice melting products available, such as:
Safe Paw Ice Melter - http://www.safepaw.com
Petco Ice Melter - http://www.petco.com or Petco retail stores

I like the Morton SafeTPet Ice Melt because its salt and chloride free. It works the best and I feel most confident with a product that’s made by a company who is an expert in salt. These other products claim they are paw friendly — beware, read the real ingredient.
