Your dog may love the snow, but the snow doesn't always love your dog back. Here's one way to keep your furry friends protected from the elements this season.
A dog's love for snow is too deep to measure, but sometimes the joy of being outdoors in fresh powder gets weighed down by ice balls that form on their legs.
It's a result of your dog's body heat which melts the snow stuck in it's fur to form ice balls — which then continue to pick up more snow.
Now I did some internet sleuthing, and according to a blog post on gollygear.com, an inexpensive and simple solution lies in baby, toddler or children's socks.
For a demonstration on how this hack works, watch the video above.
