I've heard Pam works too, but I live in Florida so I have no experience with my dog and snow.

 

Sorry, this is about the 23rd time I've posted this photo.

 

Wow - that is a perfect example.

I'll have to try the Paw Protect, we don't usually get much snow and when we do it usually rains after a couple of days and gets rid of it. It's really cold, so I guess we're stuck with it - ugh.

 

We actually use Paw Protect which is a spray on moisturizer/protector for paw pads against snow/salt/ice/pavement. We spray it on their feet, and then lightly on wherever the snow collects as well. It works great.

As for the Pam, I wouldn't use a chemical based formula on my dog - or anything that greasy, personally... but having not tried it, I guess I can't totally discount it.

 

We use Pam on Toby's feet. We spray on a pretty good coat of it just before he hits the snow. It works fairly well. We also cut his belly hair and his back leg feathers short so he doesn't collect as much snow there. Cutting his
belly short has been a godsend for keeping him *relatively* snow free.

 

Canadian dog) Now that would be my Dec picture for my calender.Great shot!!! As far as spraying or putting anything on your dogs I guess you know they will lick it, so it must be safe?

 

Wow A few snowballs attached.

 

I'm lucky... Rocky is absolutely built for the cold and doesn't suffer any ill affects from it.

Unless you count wanting to be outside more and more the colder and snowier it gets.

 

I have never seen snow stick to a dog before. It almost creeps me out!!!!!

 

Ok. One of my Bernese gets a little ice between the toes and rolls over in the snow. I need to show him this picture !

Haha! EVERYTHING sticks to Schnauzers! My granpa's Schnauzer looked like that when he came in from the snow. They have velcro coats .

 

Oooh, me too!
Snow sticking to dogs is horrible, B ended up with snow casts in approx 10 minutes out side one day last year.

I fixed this problem by doing this to him

Trying out the paw protector this year so B doesn't have to be nekkid

 

Yeh, if you think about it too much, you start realizing that dogs are truly disgusting.

At least, in general, they don't hack up fur balls, or march through the taco salad when you're entertaining.

 

Yeah, and typically, they aren't trained to "go potty" in a box of dirt kept in the laundry room or next to the toilet and cleaned every few days. To each their own, but I'll take my gross dogs thank you.

 

I have a bottle of Paw Protect and it works fairy well for about 5 minutes, but then their feet absorb the oils enough so that they start getting ice in between their toes again, but not enough so that it doesn't leave their coat greasy. >-.-< So after being outside for 15 minutes, I come in with dogs with icy toes and greasy coats.

Has anybody tried "Musher's Secret" paw wax? I would like to try it and see if it works but I'd love to hear some opinions on it first.

 

My brother's golden would come back COVERED in snow! The worst was the snow that got stuck between his toes. It was so hard to pick out we would end up filling up the bathtub with about an inch of warm water and just make him stand there for a minute or two. Here in Tennessee we like never get snow so I don't have to worry about it.

 

Makes me really happy that my dogs have short hair (considering we've gotten somewhere around 3 feet of snow in the past 2 days!) It never occured to me that long hair would collect snow like that.
