It has divided the U.S. into seven zones for its weather forecasts. Missouri falls under the fourth zone, along with states like Colorado, Montana, and Minnesota. The winter forecast for Missouri is that it\u2019s expected to be cold with above-normal snowfall. A perfect forecast if you love snow and cold.Winter season can be hard on us and our pets too. Howling winds, drifting snow, and freezing rain can be scary not just for us but for our pets as well. Pet\u2019s tolerance for cold weather may depend on various factors like- their body fat, activity level, age, fur on the body, etc. Slippery and icy streets, poisonous snowmelt all around, and freezing weather can harm our four-legged friends. Luckily there are ways that we\u2019ll discuss in this article through which we can avoid pet injuries..wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_4e9e76-fd, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_4e9e76-fd[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_4e9e76-fd\"]{text-align:left;font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_4e9e76-fd mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_4e9e76-fd[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_4e9e76-fd\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;background:#eeeeee;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_4e9e76-fd img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_4e9e76-fd[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_4e9e76-fd\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_4e9e76-fd, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_4e9e76-fd[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_4e9e76-fd\"]{text-align:center!important;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_4e9e76-fd, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_4e9e76-fd[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_4e9e76-fd\"]{text-align:center!important;}}Paw Safe Ice MeltSafe PawThe Original and the #1 Pet and Child Safe Ice Melt for over 20 years.

But it can lead to severe consequences for our pets. Ingestion of rock salt can shoot up sodium level in blood. Even the smallest amounts can lead to extreme thirst, lethargy, vomiting, and fits.  Kidney damage can also occur in severe cases. Sadly, pets can be affected by rock salt even if they don\u2019t ingest itBeware of common ice melt-Some of the best products you\u2019ve heard are not safe to use. Most of them use some or the other form of rock salt in the form of magnesium chloride, calcium chloride, or potassium chloride. These chloride-based products are not safe to use and cause problems like skin irritation, eyes, nose and lung burning, and nausea if ingested.Some companies round off the sharp edges of the salt and call their ice melt pet friendly.Pet safe ice melt-Very few ice melt products are actually safe to use around pets and children. The actual pet-safe ice melt are salt-free and chemical-free compounds and are made from natural ingredients. One such product is Safe paw which is a unique and patented dual-effect compound made up of crystalline amide core infused with special glycols. Since there are no harmful chemicals in its composition, it does not corrode your concrete, asphalt, or any other metal furniture..wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_a31899-39, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_a31899-39[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_a31899-39\"]{text-align:center;font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_a31899-39 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_a31899-39[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_a31899-39\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_a31899-39 img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_a31899-39[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_a31899-39\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}Weather Forecast[wpc-weather id=”2660″ \/]Sand-Moreover, sand used by municipalities is hard on the pet\u2019s paws. Many ice melt brands mix sand in their solutions. Sand erodes the tender paws of our pets.Be cautious of where you take your dog for a walk, and if possible, alter your path to avoid recently salted or de-iced pathways.Keep paws nicely trimmed-Snow clumps are often formed in between the toes and pads of dogs, especially if it\u2019s long-haired. Apart from causing pain, snow clumps can cause frostbites too. So, it\u2019s important to trim the hair on your dog\u2019s paws. .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_61ffa5-b3, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_61ffa5-b3[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_61ffa5-b3\"]{text-align:center;font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_61ffa5-b3 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_61ffa5-b3[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_61ffa5-b3\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_61ffa5-b3 img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_61ffa5-b3[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_61ffa5-b3\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}Other ProductsTraction MagicStay safe on slippery surfaces with a product that\u2019s 100% natural and safe for pets, people, and your property.
