Has winter walks been a challenge for your and your pup? The ice can make surfaces super slippery and practically un-walkable for you and your dog. Finding clear walkways can be tricky especially when you find ones that have de-iced. For instance, some surfaces and walkways have been treated with ice melt and other products to quickly melt ice and prevent a slippery surface from forming. The products are tough on ice and can be tough on your Chihuahua’s paws. If you walk your Chihuahua on treated surfaces, you should consider buying pet wipes to clean your dog’s paws. Not all treated walkways are unsafe. Some walkways are treated with a non-toxic sand, which normally does not affect a dog’s paws. If you’re not sure if the walkways have been treated with a non-toxic ice melt, simply avoid it or wash your Chihuahua’s paws after. Ask your veterinary clinic Chesapeake, VA about to recommend a paw rinse.
