With the snow finally deciding to show up here in the lower mainland, the dogs get to enjoy all the fun things that snow has to offer. Things like turning snowmen a shade of yellow, eating all the freshly dumped snow, running around like little puppies, and helping your kids plow down the hills on their sleds.
As fun as this weather is to most of your dogs, there are some hazards that we need to be aware of. Snow, slush, ice and cold weather all take their toll on a dog's paws. In addition, rock salt and other sidewalk treatments can leave your dog with painful, sore feet.
To prevent your dogs from having sore painful feet you will want to make sure to wash their pads asap once they have been in contact with road salt or road de-icing chemicals. Also be sure to not let your dogs lick their feet before washing or wiping them down as some of these chemicals can also cause your dogs to have upset stomachs.
Another good option is to buy your pooch a product called "Invisible boot". Dapper Dog has been selling invisible boot since we opened 5 years ago and highly recommend this product. It's 100% natural and provides a protective barrier against salt, ice and cold weather.
So be sure to maintain a happy healthy lifestyle for your furry friend and keep enjoying the fun stuff winter has to offer! If anyone has any questions or concerns please feel free to contact us :)
