During the wintertime, your dog's paws can take a beating with all the snow, ice, salt on the sidewalk, and overall cold weather. ... Paw Balm: Before walking on the snow or ice, rub some paw balm on your dog's palms. This will minimize the dry skin and damage salt can cause.

Winter weather can pose a few risks to your dog's well-being, particularly their paws. Snow and ice can increase your dog's risk of frostbite and dry out their paw pads, leaving the skin chapped or cracked. Like our chapped lips, cracked paws can be annoying and painful.

Common tips often suggested to help domestic dogs avoid cold feet in winter is to ensure their pads are not split or injured in any way, and to spray their paws with cooking spray before taking them out in the snow.

Frostbite is very rare in dogs, but it can occur.
