Since the weather is warming up so is the ground temperature!
Have you ever thought how painful it would be to walk on the road or path or even hot sand, with nothing protecting your feet?Well that's what dogs do on a daily basis, their paws are unprotected so when walking on hot surfaces they can get severe burns which can lead to multiple other complications.
Well the solution is dog booties! These can be used for many different purposes but I think it's an amazing training tool too. You never know what situation you may be in that your pooch needs to wear booties. We are currently in the process of desensitising Remi to booties so when we go places like camping or when we let her out the back on a hot day, like today, her paws are safe and we don't have to worry about them getting injured.
Some examples of times your pooch may need yo wear booties are but not limited too:
🐾Camping
🐾Hiking
🐾Hot weather (or extreme cold weather such as snow)
🐾Going for walks in unknown locations where there may be dangerous things like broken glass
🐾Older dogs to help with grip or to help protect the poor when dragging
🐾recovering from an injury on the paws
The way I see it, if you wouldn't walk on it with your bare feet why should your dog have to? Also its important to remember place the back of your hand down on the ground and hold it for 5 seconds if you can't do that because it's too hot then your dog can't either
