When your dog does go outside and gets salt on his feet, be sure to wash them when he comes back in to remove the salt. There are two reasons why this is very important: one is to prevent the salt from drying out the pads of his feet, resulting in extreme discomfort, and the other is to keep the dog from licking the salt from his paws. Salt is a definite no-no for dogs.

∙ 10y agoRoad salt contains harsh chemicals and can harm dogs in two ways. It can burn and irritate their paws, causing the pads to bleed. If your pet licks off the salt and ingests it, he can develop digestive problems or suffer a reaction to the toxins. The best solution to prevent these scenarios is to put inexpensive fleece "booties" on Fido's paws before you take him for a walk in the winter.
