Ensuring Pet Safety During Winter Weather
As winter weather persists, it’s crucial for pet owners to take measures to protect their animals, especially dogs, from potential hazards associated with snow and ice treatments.
Dangers of Ice Melts to Dogs
Many ice-melting products contain chemicals like sodium chloride (rock salt), calcium chloride, or potassium chloride, which can be harmful to pets:
- Ingestion Risks: Dogs may ingest these chemicals by licking their paws after walking on treated surfaces, leading to symptoms such as drooling, vomiting, diarrhea, and in severe cases, electrolyte imbalances.
- Dermal Irritation: Contact with certain ice melts can cause skin irritation, dryness, or cracking on a dog’s paws.

- Supervised Play: Prevent dogs from ingesting snow or licking outdoor surfaces that may have been treated with ice melt products.
- Storage Safety: Keep ice melt products stored securely and out of reach of pets to prevent accidental ingestion.
Veterinary Consultation
If you suspect your dog has been exposed to harmful ice melt chemicals and exhibits signs of distress, contact your veterinarian promptly. Early intervention can prevent more severe health issues.
