In 2004, faulty wiring under the pavement electrocuted a New York City woman walking her dogs. In the weeks that followed several pets in other big cities were killed or shocked in the same manner. And 2 days ago of this year, we were shocked when a Toronto based citizen’s dog died from this very problem. Now, as Canadians are faced with the same problem as in the States, Roanna Sabeh-Azar, founder and president of NEO-PAWS™ International, is cautioning city walkers to be careful around the covers on access holes in streets and on sidewalks. “We have been getting calls from customers inquiring about dog shoes to protect their dogs and themselves after learning about electrocution incidents in other cities not only in the years past but also this year in 2009,” Sabeh-Azar said. These metal surfaces may be electrically charged up to 130 volt when the rubber casing on underground wiring becomes corroded by snow and salt. A shock of just 50-volt magnitude is sufficient to cause extended heart-rhythm interference leading to cardiac arrest.

Witnesses to the freak accident in New York reported watching the woman try to calm her dogs, who went berserk after being electrocuted before the electrical current reached her. The dogs survived. Sabeh-Azar reports that on three separate occasions while walking her dogs on Toronto city streets, she has witnessed her dogs react in panic after stepping onto Hydro plates. “Funny, the few times that my dog’s weren’t wearing their shoes, I thought at first that my dogs had walked on salt, or slipped on the metal access plates, but when it happened the second and third time, I started piecing the puzzle together and remembering the tragedy in New York." According to some dog-walkers, their dogs will hop into the air and whine when they step on an electrified plate. The owners just attributed it to "bad behavior"; but dogs can serve as an early warning system for people.

“Last year alone, four visits to our store were attributed to similar incidents and that’s a lot of cases, most others we don’t ever hear about”, Sabeh-Azar said. ”The customers were panic stricken since they had never seen their pet react that way before.”
Sabeh-Azar has a solution – Be sure to wear rubber-soled footwear all winter and protect your dogs with rubber soles too without any metal in the shoes at all. Reputable companies such as Neo-Paws International offer an exceptional selection of styles and sizes to fit any breed of dog.
