PetSugar Street Team: Neo-Paws Keep Paws Good As New
If your dog's trudging through snow or scampering on icy sidewalks treated with salt, it's important to keep their paw pads protected. Granted this can look a bit silly to nondog owners, but it's important since the lime-rock or calcium chloride melts are poisonous to pets. Shoes prevent the risk of a pup cutting or licking his feet, but I can tell you from experience, it's hard to find ones that stay on!

Hydrate Fido With WaterDog
If your pet frolics in the backyard during Summer months, providing water is absolutely necessary! Hot dogs may not pant when they are thirsty, but still need refreshment when the play gets vigorous and their body temps rise. Instead of just adding a bowl (which can become stagnant and harbor diseases like Giardia), the WaterDog ($79) offers the cold beverage on tap whenever he's ready to sip.

Ten Tips 'Til the Holiday: City Sidewalks
In many states, it is legal to put down lime-rock salt or calcium-chloride salt to melt the snow on city streets. However, this seemingly innocuous substance is very poisonous to dogs – when pups return inside, and lick their paws, it can cause them to throw up (or worse). Also, its rough texture can cut their little feet and put salt in their wounds, literally .
