It’s a good idea to wash / wipe your dogs paws after walks 🐕🐕especially where grit has been laid.
🤔WHY ?🤔
🧂Salt / 🍙Grit can be an irritant , prolonged or repeated exposure to salt can cause dryness,cracking, and worse case burns.
Salt can also be ingested when a dog licks their paws clean after a walk, ingestion may simply cause digestive upset but could cause salt poisoning. Symptoms include…
• Vomiting and diarrhoea.
• Loss of appetite.
• Dehydration.
• Excessive thirst or urination.
• Mouth ulcerations (depending on the specific compound ingested).
• Weakness, lethargy, uncoordinated walking, or collapse.
• Tremors or seizures
