Dogs Need Protection Too


If you're a regular to my blog, you know I have talked about dogs being great running companions (although my own is not. She's very spoiled).


Anyhow- if you are taking them out running with you, esp in the snow and ice, please remember to protect their paws!!!! Not only can they get frostbite, the de-icing agents on the road can be toxic. Here's how to protect them:


1. Protective Footwear (booties) >>>> find here

2. Dog hates booties? Try Musher's Secret, a waxed base paw protector >>> find here

3. Rinse off feet and dry with towel when you get home (helps to get all the chemicals off)


Hope that helps you and Fido have many happy winter runs!
