🔥 Record high temps are on the rise this week! Here are some tips to protect your pet's paws on their daily walks:
Asphalt and concrete can reach dangerously high temperatures in just minutes of sunlight. If you can't hold the back of your hand to the pavement for 7 seconds, it's too hot for your pet to walk on.
Hot surfaces can cause serious burns, blisters, and long-term paw damage.
🐾 Tips to keep their paws safe:
• Walk during early morning or late evening when surfaces are cooler
• Stick to grassy or shaded areas
• Use pet booties for extra protection
• Always test the pavement with your hand
