Watch for ice-melt salt
Road salt burns paw pads and is toxic if licked off. Rinse or wipe paws after every winter visit, or use booties if your dog tolerates them.
Shorten visits in a hard freeze
Short-coated dogs lose heat fast below freezing. Keep sessions brisk and watch for shivering or paw-lifting — both mean head for the car.
