They added that if you absolutely must, then have them wear shoes, and don't let them lick the ice (or their feet) after they come inside!!  |
Great post
I only walk mine in snow that has not been walked on..........reason being.......I like to take pics and I know they don't de-ice it. There are a few hills by me and are great. The rest of the walk..........I carry my babies with me, wash their paws once inside and dry them.
