If you and your Devon Rex live in an area prone to heavy snowfall and icy roadways and walkways then you should ask your local officials what type of melting product is being used to treat the hard surface roadways and walking areas. Most places use a mix of sand and salt or a product referred to as “ice melt”. Although these products work great, they can be toxic to cats and dogs. The products contain chemicals that can cause blisters and burns on the bottom of your Devon Rex’s paws. If you can’t avoid these surfaces consider buying snow shoes for your Devon Rex. If snow shows aren’t possible or your cat refuses to wear them, then you may simply need to wash your Devon Rex’s paws each time she comes indoors. You can also help prevent your cat’s paws from cracking by rubbing petroleum jelly on them. Ask your veterinarian Sugar Land, TX for more suggestions.
