Your best friend’s paws hurt after that frigid Winter walk. If he whines a bit and starts to lick his paws, the salted sidewalks may be the culprit. Add 1/4 cup of Epsom Salts to a shallow bowl or pail filled with 1/2 gallon of warm water. (It’s a good idea to prepare this before your walk.) Soak a hand towel in this solution and hold on his paws for 5 minutes. Rinse off and dry his paws. The Epsom Salts will have relieved the pain and inflammation.
