[UC] Salty dogs

[Cindy Miller]

Since I am a petsitter, I read with interest all the recent posts about the paws of people's pets being sensitive to the salt products which are used to melt snow/ice. My experience is that most --but not all--of the dogs that I walk are painfully affected by these salt products.

One of my clients now uses a product called "Safe Paw", little sea-green pellets which are salt-free, and environmentally safe. It states on the container that they are safe for children, dogs, lawns and concrete.

She also uses a spray called "Paw Pro" which contains lanolin and other oils as protection for her dogs paws from salt, snow and ice.

These products come from an internet outfit called "Jake's Dog House".

Hope this info helps someone.......
