Take Care of Dog Paws in Snow

Salt used on the sidewalks gets trapped in the paws if they are not trimmed properly by a trained groomer.  Consider keeping a warm bowl of water near the door.  As you dry your dog’s legs and paws, dip them in the bowl to rinse off any remaining snow or salt.  Also, a dog’s paws will dry out and crack during the winter.  If you can’t afford the fancy stuff, good old Vaseline will do the trick.
