Many people know that curious dogs can often try snow.

But not all owners are aware of the safety of this habit.

Can you allow your pet to eat sediment?

Experts believe that there can be only one clear answer to this question: no. Such a habit is extremely dangerous for the life and health of the animal.

If you are walking in a relatively clean area (in the forest, outside the city, etc.), then eating snow can lead to problems with the gastrointestinal tract. Even a small amount of precipitation can be enough to cause a disease that may require the help of specialists.

In urban conditions, snow becomes even more dangerous.

Don't forget about chemicals and garbage. If a dog eats snow in the city, it can get seriously poisoned.

Therefore, it is worth immediately weaning your beloved dog from this bad habit, so as not to risk its life.
