Winter is quickly approaching and it won’t be long before the roads, sidewalks, and driveways are covered with chemicals used to melt ice (ice melts). If dogs aren’t eating them, they are at least walking through or playing in them! Ice melts pose a problem with both oral ingestion and dermal contact. There are many [...]
