“Dear PoPville,

I’m adopting a dog for the first time and have a question for the community: how do you take care of your dog’s paws?

The pavement can get very hot in the summer, and ice and salt can cause issues in the winter. As a recovering midwestern suburbanite, I need to know how to take care of the pooch’s paws when I walk him every day on hot, icy, or salty pavement.”
