Hot Pavement = Hot Paws! 🔥

Your dog’s paws are just as sensitive as the soles of your feet — maybe even more so.

Here's how to keep them safe during hot weather:
✅ Check the ground before you walk. If the air temp is 77°F, asphalt can reach 125°F — hot enough to cause burns in just 60 seconds.
✅ Do the 10-second test. Place the back of your hand on the pavement. If it’s too hot for you, it’s too hot for your pup.
✅ Time it right. Walk early in the morning or after sunset when surfaces are cooler.
✅ Consider protective booties if your dog tolerates them well — they can make a big difference!

🚨 Watch for signs of paw burn, including:
Limping or reluctance to walk
Discolored or darkened pads
Blisters, redness, or missing skin
Excessive licking or biting at paws
