Ice-melting chemicals or rock salt can cause irritation, sickness or be fatal in some cases. During #WinterHazardsAwarenessWeek, consider using pet-friendly ice melt products and keep all chemicals out of reach of curious paws. Wipe your pet’s paws after walks to remove any residue and help keep your furry friends safe this winter!
