It’s starting to get HOT. Take measures to ensure your dog’s paws stay cool.
Here’s some tips to help you help your dog stay cool this summer:
- Take walks early in the morning or late in the evening, or walk in the grass.
- Use dog booties/wax/balms. This will help add a protective barrier against the hot pavement.
- Use the five second rule! Put the back of your hand on the concrete for five seconds - if it’s too hot for you, it’s too hot for them!
Stay hydrated and stay cool!
