LOTS of people are complaining that their dogs’ paws are sore after walking on the salted roads.
It’s probably the reaction between salt and ice that is burning their feet.
Dog owners need to learn this urgently because without realising it they are burning their pets and causing them great pain.
If you do this test you will understand. Place some salt on your hand and then place an ice cube on top of the salt and it will burn you like hot coal.
Please make dog owners aware if you can.
