‼️ Dog Walking in Summer ‼️
The ideal temperature for dog walking is 12-19 degrees; anything above this means our dogs are at a much higher risk of suffering from heatstroke!🥵
Tips for Summer Walking 🐕🚶♂️🌞
The Pavement Test: Place the back of your hand on the pavement for 5 seconds. If it is too hot for your hand 🤚 it will burn your dog’s paws 🐾
⏰ Time of Day: Walk your dog during the cooler hours; so early morning or later in the evening 🌙
Vulnerable Breeds: Brachycephalic (flat-faced) breeds like Pugs and Bulldogs, as well as overweight dog or breeds with very thick coats, overheat much faster than others 🐶
