7. Cold Burns And Road Salt
Living somewhere where it is extremely hot in the summer is as dangerous for your dog’s paws as living somewhere where there is snow in the winter. Walking on snow can cause frostbites, which is like a burn caused by ice. The treatment is pretty much the same as for regular burns, and prevention can also be done the same way – avoid exposing your dog to snow, and if you must do it, make them wear tiny dog boots to protect their paws. A thing that is used to remove snow from the road is road salt, but this can be harmful to your dog’s paws as well, so be sure to clean their paws with a towel when you get home to prevent any health problems or infections caused by road salt.
