It has been snowing A LOT lately and there is always a new layer of salt being added to the streets in my neighborhood. Is this safe for my dog to walk on all the time? What if he licks it off when we get home? This does not seem good…

While the small amount they get is generally not going to do any harm, there are also other things you might consider.

1. Clean your dog’s feet when you get home from walks.
2. Put booties on your dog to protect them from the salt and the cold surface.
3. If you are putting down the salt, there are pet-friendly solutions.
4. Call your community representative or city to find out what kind they use and research whether it’s pet-safe.

Hope this helps.
