This winter has been brutal. While I take my dogs on walks, I also like to let them out to play in my yard. But my yard has been covered with ice for weeks. Snow cover melting a little bit during the day and then turning to ice overnight – and now the temps are so cold, it’s not even melting. Anyway, is there anything I can do to help my dogs walk more easily on ice? I’m worried that they’re going to hurt themselves from slipping and falling.
I also live in an area with a lot of snow and ice and have this same problem. We have had freezing temperatures for weeks, and getting my dogs to go outside has been very hard. If I shovel off a little section of the yard and break the snow and ice, I have found that they can walk better there. I have also heard that boots or booties can help, but my dog won’t keep those on. However, my neighbor’s dog wears them and has no trouble with slipping since the boots add traction.
