If the sidewalk or asphalt feels hot to your hand, it’s way too hot for your dog’s paws. On hot days, concrete and blacktop can reach temperatures high enough to cause painful burns in just minutes. If you need to walk your dog, try going early in the morning or after the sun goes down. Better yet, stick to grass or shaded areas whenever possible. A good rule of thumb: Place the back of your hand on the pavement for 7 seconds. If it’s too hot for you, it’s too hot for your dog. Let’s keep our four-legged friends safe this summer.
Please!! If you cannot pick up your dog over paved area’s, get them some dog shoes! it will help prevent pawpad burns and extreme discomfort of your furry family member.
Use dog shoes.
I just walk my little guy on the grass when it’s this hot!
