Take care of your dog’s paws in compacted snow
If your dog can’t resist roaming in the deep snow, you may need to check them regularly during your walks to ensure snow hasn’t compacted on and between their toes.
During walks, snow can collect and ball up between your dog’s toes, causing discomfort. If your dog is uncomfortable when walking, gently release any snow from the paws and when home gently warm the paws to melt off any remaining snow and ice.
A good way to prevent snow from collecting between your dog’s toes is to regularly trim the hair between and around them, giving the snow less hair to adhere to.
Paw butter, such as Warren London Paw Defence Wax, can also help moisturise the paw pads, protecting them against the snow.
