❄️ WINTER PAW CARE: 4 SIMPLE HABITS ❄️

Salt, ice melt, and cold pavement are rough on paws. A few habits help a lot:

1️⃣ Rinse paws after every walk to remove salt and de-icers 2️⃣ Dry between the toes, where moisture hides 3️⃣ Check pads for cracks, cuts, or redness 4️⃣ Trim fur between the pads to reduce ice buildup

Paws that stay irritated can lead to licking, infection, and chronic skin problems.

🍂 FALL TO WINTER: TIME FOR A SKIN CHECK 🍂

What winter does to skin: ❄️ Dry air leads to flaky, itchy skin 🔥 Heated indoor air dries out coats 🧂 Road salt and de-icers irritate paws 🛁 Less frequent baths can mean more buildup

Quick winter checks: ✓ Part the coat and look at the skin ✓ Check paws between the toes ✓ Look for redness, flaking, or hair loss ✓ Note any new licking or scratching

Catching changes early makes them much easier to treat.

🦃 THANKSGIVING SAFETY FOR PETS 🦃

Holiday food is a common cause of stomach upset, and some foods can also cause skin and allergy flare-ups.

Keep these away from pets: 🚫 Turkey skin and fatty drippings (pancreatitis risk) 🚫 Cooked bones (splintering) 🚫 Grapes and raisins (kidney damage) 🚫 Onions and garlic 🚫 Anything with xylitol (sugar-free sides and desserts) 🚫 Alcohol

Food-related skin tips: ✓ Avoid new table scraps, which can trigger food reactions ✓ Stick to the usual diet and treats ✓ Tell us if your pet has a known food allergy

Emergency signs: repeated vomiting, diarrhea, extreme lethargy, or trouble breathing. Call your emergency vet right away.

🐾 WHEN YOUR PET'S PAW LOOKS "OFF," DON'T WAIT 🐾

Paws take a beating, especially in the fall. This close-up shows how a patch of skin can change color, lose hair, or look thickened. Those changes are worth a professional look.

Signs your pet's paws need attention: 🔸 Dark or discolored patches 🔸 Hair loss around the paw 🔸 Thickened, scaly, or crusty skin 🔸 Constant licking or chewing 🔸 Swelling, odor, or discharge

Why it's worth checking: Paw changes can come from allergies, infections, or other skin conditions. Some look minor but need a diagnosis to treat correctly.

🐾What's Going On Between Those Toes?🐾

Did you know that the skin between your dog's toes can tell us a lot about their overall skin health?

Redness, irritation, discoloration, and hair loss around the paws can be signs of allergies or secondary skin infections.

Dogs with allergies often lick and chew their paws, which can make irritation even worse!

🔍 **Pet Parent Tip:** Check between your dog's toes regularly for redness, swelling, or unusual changes.

If your dog is constantly licking their paws, our team at Vet Dermatology can help identify the underlying cause and find a treatment plan that works! 💙

🔥 Hot spots can develop surprisingly fast!

These painful, inflamed areas of skin often occur when pets repeatedly lick, chew, or scratch an irritated spot.

Allergies, fleas, and other sources of itching can trigger hot spots.

Early treatment can help prevent them from spreading and becoming more uncomfortable!

An occasional itch may not be cause for concern, but persistent skin and ear problems can significantly affect your pet's comfort and quality of life.

If your pet has been dealing with the same symptoms for months or even years, specialized dermatology care may help.

Consider a veterinary dermatology evaluation if your pet experiences:

🔹 Chronic scratching or licking
🔹 Recurring ear infections
🔹 Frequent bacterial or yeast skin infections
🔹 Hair loss or bald patches
🔹 Red, inflamed, or crusty skin
🔹 Skin problems that return after treatment
🔹 Suspected autoimmune skin disease

A veterinary dermatologist has advanced training in diagnosing and managing complex skin, coat, nail, and ear conditions.

Our goal is to identify underlying causes, develop an individualized treatment plan, and help your pet enjoy a more comfortable life.

💙 Your pet doesn't have to live with constant itching. Contact Vet Dermatology to learn more about our services!
