Wash your dog\u2019s paws off after each walk, and if he has long fur or short legs, give his stomach attention, too. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Antifreeze<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Car antifreeze is deadly, but its sweet taste is very appealing to dogs.
