Now the hot weather has apparently decided to arrive it’s a good time to remind dog owners of the very important tarmac test!
Making sure your dog doesn’t burn their little feet on the hot ground is (obviously) very important. Luckily, the test to see if it’s too hot outside for a walk is super easy.
All you have to do is use the back of your hand and put it on the pavement for 5 seconds. If it hurts, it’s too hot. If not, your dog will be able to walk without having sore feet later. Win-win!
To avoid the hottest times of the day, early morning or evening walks are great in the summer! Please do reach out if you need dog walking services
Stay safe and hydrated out there 🐾🐾🐶
