Ice, snow, and freezing temperatures can pose risks like frostbite or hypothermia. Shorter, more frequent walks might be preferable to extended periods in the cold. If you\u2019re out and notice your dog lifting their paws up in a way that isn\u2019t usual for them, crying out or stopping then they might have freezing paws and it\u2019s time to call it a day.<\/p>\n<p>Frozen areas of water should be avoided where possible. It\u2019s hard to tell how thick the ice is over larger bodies of water such as ponds and rivers, and even puddles can be hazardous as they\u2019re slippery and the edge of ice is sharp!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.parksidevets.com\/pets\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/11\/keeping-dogs-safe-in-colder-weather-dog-cold-weather.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;A Guide to Keeping Dogs Safe in Colder Weather&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Dog with cap in winter&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f92ce15 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"f92ce15\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7d26a125 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"7d26a125\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n<h5 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">There are a few chemical hazards to look out for too:<\/h5>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-264e6798 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"264e6798\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n<p>De-icer used on car windscreens is very toxic.

Whilst dogs are unlikely to eat it thinking it\u2019s a delicious treat, they might swallow enough whilst grooming themselves after a walk to cause them problems.
