🐾☀️ Hot pavement can burn paws in minutes!
If it’s too hot for your bare feet, it’s too hot for theirs. Test the pavement with the back of your hand for 5 seconds before heading out.
Remember, dogs don’t sweat like humans do and can overheat much faster—especially brachycephalic breeds, puppies, and senior dogs.
🌡️ Skip midday walks and stick to early mornings and late evenings when temperatures and pavement are cooler.
A little planning can prevent burned paws, heat exhaustion, and a trip to the ER. ❤️🐾
