☀️ Friendly Reminder: Sunny Days Are Near – Keep Your Pup’s Footies Safe! 🐾
As summer rolls in with those gorgeous blue skies and golden rays, we’re all itching to get outside – and our furry friends are just as excited! But before you and your pup head out for a sun-soaked stroll, there’s one very important thing to remember: hot pavement can burn those precious paw pads! 🔥🐶
Why Hot Pavement = Ouch for Paws 😢
If it’s too hot for your hand, it’s too hot for their paws. Asphalt can reach 125°F (51°C) on a 77°F (25°C) day – and even hotter when temperatures soar. That’s enough to cause pain, blisters, or even permanent damage in seconds.
🧊 Pup-Protecting Tips for the Heat:
- Test with your hand: Press the back of your hand on the pavement for 7 seconds. Too hot? Stay off!
- Walk early or late: Avoid midday heat. Opt for morning or evening walks when sidewalks are cooler.
- Use dog booties or paw wax: These add a protective layer between paws and pavement.
- Stick to the shade or grass: Natural surfaces stay cooler and gentler on pup paws.
- Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate! Bring water for both you and your four-legged friend. 💦
