Dogs often eat snow for thirst, refreshment, curiosity or fun, but you must be very vigilant and avoid this.

Salt or antifreeze is often used to dissolve snow, especially on roads and in cities. It is important to keep in mind that antifreeze is very appealing to dogs because of its sweet taste, but it is extremely toxic, especially those based on ethylene glycol.

It can cause acute renal failure that can be fatal. That is why it is advisable not to let your dog lick its paws or ingest this snow.

In case he ingests it, call your veterinarian urgently.
