Protect Your Pet’s Paws This Summer! 🐾☀️
Hot pavement can burn paws in seconds — if it’s too hot for your hand, it’s too hot for their feet.
🔥 Precautions to Take:
• Walk pets early morning or late evening when surfaces are cooler.
• Stick to shaded paths, grass, or dirt trails.
• Always do the 5-second hand test on pavement.
🛑 Avoid:
• Walking during peak heat hours (10 AM–4 PM).
• Asphalt and sand, which can get scorching.
• Long outdoor activities without shade or water.
🧴 Paw Care Tips:
• Check paws daily for cracks, redness, or burns.
• Use pet-safe balms to keep paw pads moisturized.
• Wipe paws after walks to remove heat and debris.
Let’s keep those paws safe, cool, and happy all summer long! 💛🐶🐾.
