The dog handler talked about protecting the dog's paws in winter

Many dog breeds tolerate frosts quite well, and they do not require additional clothing or shoes, but pets' paws must be protected from reagents. This was announced by the President of the Russian Cynological Federation, Vladimir Golubev, on Friday, November 21.

"Therefore, we strongly recommend that you train your puppy to shoes at an early age. Maybe one day it will come in handy," he said in an interview with Radio 1.

According to the dog handler, this is the most versatile and safe solution. The shoes will reliably protect the dog from both reagents and frost, he added.

There are also shoe covers for pets. They are disposable. The specialist recommended choosing options with a reliable tape, as well as waterproof ones.

Golubev noted that the easiest option is to pre—treat the paws of dogs with protective wax or cream. These products create a protective layer, preventing damage from salt, reagents and snow. After a walk, you need to thoroughly wash off the layer with water.
