Our winter has been quite mild, but it’s always a good idea to be prepared and learn about the hazards winter poses to cats. Rock salt is extremely hazardous and it’s extremely difficult to avoid, especially if you’re a pet. The streets are covered in rock salt to stop them from freezing over, it’s spread by neighbours hoping to keep their paths clear and steps free from dangerous ice. Walking dogs and letting cats out puts them in danger because rock salt is so difficult to avoid once it’s been spread. Many pets end up with open wounds on their paws and deadly health conditions. Thankfully, there are ways you can prevent your cats and dogs from ingesting rock salt and suffering from serious health problems.
