'Just like humans, dogs can get cold in the cold weather,' veterinarian Jessie Miller said.
As large swaths of the U.S. wrap up warm in the face of biting cold weather and intense snowfall, don't forget that your furry friend may need some special support too.Regions across the Gulf Coast have seen record-breaking amounts of snow thos week, and temperatures have plunged across much of the Southeast, Northeast and Midwest.
'Significant amounts of salt/deicer can indeed cause irritation to your furry friend's feet. Chemicals, like antifreeze, can get on their paws when they walk outside and are toxic in small doses if ingested/licked,' Miller said.'Dog booties can be a great solution to this issue—they come in lots of sizes and styles and will do a great job protecting your pup's feet.
