🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 Please consider taking your pup out early in the morning or later in the evening when it’s cooler if they need a stroll. Alternatively, backyard potty breaks, shade snuggles and indoor enrichment activities are ideal when we are in nasty heatwaves. Take care of your pup‘s paws 🐾 💕
🚨 Hot Summers Means Hot Pavement!
Did you know that asphalt and sidewalks can heat up higher than the air temperature? Here's a quick test: hold 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's paws! 🐾
Tips to Keep Your Dog's Paws Safe:
✅ Walk earlier or later in the day when it's cooler.
✅ Use Paw Protection: Dog booties can protect their pads.
✅ Walk on the grass instead of the pavement.
✅ Check your dog's paws daily for signs of irritation.
✅ Try indoor enrichment games.
✅ Opt for activities in or near water, like swimming or walking along a creek.
Keep those paws safe and happy! 🌅🌿🐶
