I had a phone call from an elderly neighbour tonight who has been contacted by her vet and told that rock salt (laid by the council to prevent slipping in icy conditions) can cause serious illness and death for dogs and cats. They lick it off their paws, ingest it and it can make them very ill and can rapidly lead to death.
There is an article from last year here (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1341137/Hundreds-dogs-cats-die-rock-salt-scattered-gritters-big-freeze.html) which I am sure can explain it better than me.
