If you live in an area prone to icy walkways and roadways, then you may be aware of ice melt and salt products used to keep the roads clear of ice. It’s important to know what your town or city uses and whether the product is safe for your Beagle or not. Most of the ice melt products are made to be tough on the roadways, but they are not made to be sensitive to your Beagle’s paws. In fact, the chemicals could burn your pup’s paws or cause minor irritations. Make sure to avoid walking on areas treated with these products. For your own driveway, sidewalks and roadways, look for products that are safe for pets. There are plenty of ice melt or de-icing products available that will eliminate ice but not hurt your Beagle’s paws. Ask your vet Wake Forest, NC for help in finding these products.
