What winter gear is needed/suggested for the city dog? I have bought my new guy a coat, and I'm looking at his feet now- he's developed a sore from the salt- so I know I need something for his feet- some kind of balm...boots...combination of the two?
For the sore, which is not bad, but he wants to lick, I've been washing with lukewarm water and epson salts...applying polysporin, and covering with a sock. He tolerates this well, and doesn't walk funny at all witht he sock on
I've been walking on the Martingale collar, but with the icy sidewalks, am now putting the Easywalk harness back on him because he pulls a bit, and that's not safe for me. I'd originally stopped using it because he rubbed his armpits raw(he's between sizes, and it's too big) so I put it Over his coat in hopes of a better fit.....I'm considering a padding to protect him fromt he wear in his armpits- like you put on a childs seatbelt?
