Opt for pet-safe commercial deicing products that don’t contain chlorides for your dog’s safety.
Don’t allow your dog off-lead in places where roads and pathways have been treated.
During winter, always wash your dog’s paws post-walk with warm water and a dog-friendly paw-wash such as Warren London Paw Sani-Scrub to safely remove toxic substances to help prevent them from becoming ill.
If your dog shows any signs of irritation post-walk, consider giving them a warm bath with a mild, dog-friendly, soothing shampoo to keep them safe from any chemicals they may have picked up.

If it’s absolutely impossible to avoid areas treated with rock salt or other deicers on especially cold days, limit your dog’s time outside where possible and always clean them down after every walk.
