❄️ Fun Friday: Another Snowstorm Is on the Way… Again!

Just when we finished digging out from the last storm, the forecast is calling for another big one this weekend. If you’re feeling the “here we go again” energy — you’re not alone.

While snow days can be fun (and beautiful), they can also be tough on our dogs. Cold temps, icy sidewalks, and rock salt can quickly turn a simple walk into uncomfortable paws and stressed routines.

So before the snow starts falling again, here are a few easy, practical ways to keep your dog comfortable, safe, and happy through yet another winter storm.

🐾 Snow + Salt = Paw Problems

Snow itself isn’t the biggest issue — it’s what comes with it.

Rock salt and ice melt can:

• Dry out paw pads

• Cause redness and irritation

• Create painful cracks

• Burn sensitive skin between toes

• 
  

Dogs may try to lick their paws after walks, which can actually make things worse if salt residue is still present.

🧼 Post-Walk Paw Care (Storm Edition)

After every winter walk, especially during heavy storms, we recommend a quick routine:

1. Wipe or rinse paws to remove salt and debris

2. Dry thoroughly, paying close attention between the toes

3. Check for redness, cracks, or irritation

4. Apply a paw balm before the next outing

This small habit can make a huge difference over the course of winter.

💜 Why Paw Balm Is a Winter Essential

A good paw balm does more than moisturize — it protects.

Using a paw balm helps:

• Rehydrate dry, cracked pads

• Create a breathable barrier against snow and salt

• Reduce irritation from repeated exposure

• Keep paws flexible and comfortable in cold weather

• 
  

Paisley’s Posh Paw Balm is one of our winter must-haves. It’s non-greasy, absorbs easily, and is safe for daily use — whether your dog is heading out for a quick potty break or a snowy adventure.

You can add it as a complimentary service during grooming or take home your own tin to use between visits.

❄️ Storms Disrupt Dogs Too

Big storms don’t just affect paws — they can disrupt routines, limit exercise, and increase stress for some dogs. Extra patience, enrichment indoors, and gentle care go a long way during these weather swings.

A little preparation now can help everyone ride out the storm more comfortably.

🐶 Final Thoughts

We may not be able to stop the snow, but we can help protect our dogs from the uncomfortable parts of winter.

As we head into yet another snowy weekend:

• Wipe those paws

• Keep them moisturized

• And don’t forget the extra cuddles

• 
  

Stay warm, stay safe, and we’ll see you on the other side of this storm ❄️🐾
