In reply to Shirley. Glad you found my Blog informative Shirley! It's always best to check with your local Vet about the habits of ticks native to your area, just to be safe. As far as dogs eating grass there are many reasons they do this. Some dogs eat grass when they have an upset stomach and some dogs eat grass to gain important nutrients.....especially fresh, green grass. It's not something to be concerned about unless it's followed by a lot of vomiting which occurs over a longer period of time. A trip to the Vet would then be recommended to ensure your dog is in fine health. Best, Doggy Dan

In reply to Lisa Canada. Hi Lisa.... thanks for your really helpful advice in regards to washing the salt and de-icers from a dog's feet after being exposed to areas that may have those products used on them. I'm sure many dog owners wouldn't even be aware of this being an issue. Best, Doggy Dan

Great post Doggy Dan, thank you! I live in Canada and something that we see a lot is salt and other chemical de-icers put on sidewalks and roads. So if you don’t put bootees on your dog please please make sure that you give your dogs paws a good wash when you get home to get those chemicals off and the salt out from between their toes and dry it well so it doesn’t stay wet and so they don’t lick them. Another point is that most animals huddle together with other animals for warmth. A single dog is at a great disadvantage without another animal to share heat with.
