Just a yearly reminder, even on the dirt and asphalt in front of the salon the temps can get pretty hot on their sensitive feet
🌞🐾 Hot Weather Reminder for Pet Parents! 🐾🌞
With summer temps soaring, don’t forget that sidewalks, asphalt, gravel, and even artificial turf can get extremely hot — and can burn your dog’s paws in just seconds! 😢🔥
Did you know that when it’s 85°F outside, the pavement can be a scorching 130°F or hotter? 😱 That’s hot enough to burn your dog’s paw pads in under a minute!
Here’s a quick tip:
Before heading out for a walk, place the back of your hand on the pavement. If it’s too hot for you to hold it there for 5 seconds, it’s too hot for your pup’s paws!
Signs of paw pad burns include:
🚫 Limping or refusing to walk
🚫 Licking or chewing at feet
🚫 Blisters or red, peeling pads
How to protect those paws:
✅ Walk during cooler times (early morning or evening)
✅ Stick to grass and shaded areas
✅ Try paw wax or dog booties for extra protection
✅ Keep walks short on hot days
We love all our furry clients here at The Shed Shop and want them to stay safe and comfortable all summer long! 💛🐶
If you’re unsure about your dog’s paw health, just ask us during your next visit — we’re always happy to help. 🐾✂️
Stay cool, stay safe, and give your pup some extra belly rubs from us! 🐕💦
