The Chemical Burn of Road Salt
Canadian winters are harsh on our roads, requiring massive amounts of salt and chemical de-icers. Unfortunately, these substances are highly abrasive and can cause severe chemical burns to the sensitive skin of your pet's paw pads.
Booties vs. Musher's Secret
The gold standard for Canadian winters is a high-quality set of dog booties. However, many dogs find them unnatural. For those cases, an invisible "wax barrier" like Musher's Secret is crucial to prevent salt from sticking and ice from forming between the toes.
💡 Pro Tip
"Always rinse your pet's paws with lukewarm water immediately after coming inside. This removes residual chemicals and prevents your pet from licking the salt off, which can cause stomach upsets."
