6. Avoid walking on ice

It's always a good idea to avoid walking on ice — for your sake as well as your dog's. Thin ice can easily break underneath you and saving both yourself and your dog from icy waters may be impossible. Even thick ice can be dangerous if you or your dog slip, and rough ice can cut into a dog's paw pads. It's best to plan a regular route that avoids frozen lakes and ponds during the winter.
