🐾 HOT PAVEMENT = HOT PAWS 🐾
As the temperatures rise, remember this: if the pavement is too hot for your hand, it’s too hot for your dog’s paws! ☀️🔥
Blacktop, sidewalks, and even sand can burn your dog’s paw pads in seconds during summer weather.
✅ Walk early morning or later evening
✅ Stick to grass when possible
✅ Test pavement with the back of your hand for 7 seconds
✅ Bring water on walks
✅ Watch for limping or licking paws
Your dog depends on you to keep them safe this summer! ❤️🐶
