Common Cause Of InjuryPets love to play in the snow, but we must keep them safe from the harmful effects of snow and ice melt. Harsh winters can cause them injuries like lesions on legs, cut on paws, skin irritation, diarrhea, etc. Injuries to the paws can occur from snow and chemicals in the ice melt products, etc, And it’s visible in pets during winters.Mostly it is rock salt on the roads because it\u2019s economical and acts fast. But not many people know that rock salt can be lethal for your pet. When your pet walks on the salt or salt-water slush (the solution formed when salt melts the ice), the salt crystals get attached to its fur or stuck in between toes and cause burning. It can also lead to inflammation, redness, soreness, and bacterial infection.Solution: Clip the extra hair on the bottom of your dog\u2019s feet before the snowfall. When they\u2019re back from the walk, wash their feet with warm water and dry them with a towel. While you might be using an ice melter that is pet-safe, chances are your neighbors may not be using a safe ice melter. Carefully clean their feet in between their toes. .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_bdd86c-36, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_bdd86c-36[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_bdd86c-36\"]{text-align:center;font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_bdd86c-36 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_bdd86c-36[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_bdd86c-36\"] 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_bdd86c-36 img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_bdd86c-36[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_bdd86c-36\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}Weather Forcast[wpc-weather id=”3157″ \/]2. Ingestion is lethalMost types of antifreeze are sweet-smelling and therefore very tempting for pets. Most of the brands use either magnesium chloride or calcium chloride, or potassium chloride in their products. Pets may get it accidentally into their mouth or while licking their feet after the walk. These chloride-based products may cause problems like skin irritation, eyes, nose and lung burning, and nausea if ingested.Solution: Always choose a good ice melter that is pet-safe, that does not burn their paws, or poison the pet if ingested. Choose a salt-free, chlorine-free, and acetate-free formula. It should be a completely safe ice melter for pets, kids, and the environment. 3. Chilly Winds Are HarshChilly and dry wind can cause dryness, itchy and flaking skin. If your dog is not a breed born to endure freezing temperatures, then keep it inside. Small dogs with a thin coat are more susceptible to getting frostbite and hypothermia. Solution: I keep them warm and cozy. I do not take them out often during those continuous snowfall days. After a short walk, I carry him to provide some cozy warmth of my coat..wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_779f55-c7, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_779f55-c7[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_779f55-c7\"]{text-align:center;font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_779f55-c7 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_779f55-c7[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_779f55-c7\"] 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_779f55-c7 img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_779f55-c7[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_779f55-c7\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}Other Products#kt-layout-id_da1c4d-c2 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(#kt-layout-id_da1c4d-c2 > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}#kt-layout-id_da1c4d-c2 > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);padding-top:var( --global-kb-row-default-top, 25px );padding-bottom:var( --global-kb-row-default-bottom, 25px );padding-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}#kt-layout-id_da1c4d-c2 > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){#kt-layout-id_da1c4d-c2 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){#kt-layout-id_da1c4d-c2 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}.kadence-column_43f828-4c > .kt-inside-inner-col{border-top-width:0px;border-right-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;border-left-width:0px;}.kadence-column_43f828-4c > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column_43f828-4c > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column_43f828-4c > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column_43f828-4c > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column_43f828-4c{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column_43f828-4c > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column_43f828-4c > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}Traction MagicStay safe on slippery surfaces with a product that\u2019s 100% natural and safe for pets, people, and your property.
