Pavement may look harmless to you in your comfy shoes, but for your dog’s paws, it can be a hidden hazard—especially on warm days. Pet parents are often surprised to learn just how quickly surfaces like asphalt, concrete, metal, sand, artificial turf, and even dry grass or wood can become dangerously hot for dogs.

Unlike us, our pups walk “barefoot,” making them highly vulnerable to burns and injuries from heated surfaces. Even when the air feels comfortable, sidewalk and road temperatures can soar:
- At just 77°F (25°C) outside, asphalt can reach 125°F (51°C)
-At 86°F (30°C), it can hit an astonishing 135°F (57°C)—hot enough to burn skin in under ONE minute!
-Burns can occur at pavement temperatures as low as 120°F (49°C)—and some surfaces, like metal or artificial grass, can get even hotter!

Prolonged exposure may leave your dog temporarily unable to walk, causing pain, frustration, and a lengthy healing process.

Dog paw pads may look tough but are just as sensitive as your own skin. Signs of paw pad burns include limping, refusing to walk, excessive licking, blisters, discoloration, or even missing skin. Protecting those precious paws is essential to their safety and happiness.

SAFETY TIPS!
Always test the walking surface: Place the back of your hand on the ground for 5–10 seconds. If it’s too hot for your skin, it’s too hot for your dog. When in doubt, opt for early morning or late evening walks, stick to shaded or grassy areas, and apply paw wax like Musher's for extra protection.

Your dog depends on you to protect them—let’s keep those tails wagging and paws happy! xoAmy

We have always gotten our hanging plants from Alwerdts Gardens. This year I went a little crazy and did some potted plants too. They have been gorgeous this year (especially the coleus). As always, Alwerdts flowers do not disappoint!

You may have noticed that Betty has been gone all week. Her husband, Dave became quite ill last Tuesday and long story short, he is at St Johns Hospital
In Springfield being treated for a very treatable blood cancer. He’s a tough cookie and has an extremely great attitude. He is also on dialysis as it affected his kidneys. But now that treatments have begun, we can hopefully get him home soon. Thanks for your concern and prayers.

🎆 4th of July Safety Tip 🎆

Loud fireworks and sudden noises can spook even the calmest pets. If your furry friend bolts, a secure collar with up-to-date ID tags can help get them home safely. Make sure their collar fits snugly—just enough room to slip two fingers underneath—so it stays put if they panic. 🐶🐾
