Dogs can be sensitive to hot pavement, and walking on it can cause burns to their paw pads. It's important to check the temperature of the pavement before taking your dog for a walk. A good rule of thumb is to place your hand on the pavement for seven seconds; if it's too hot for your hand, it's too hot for your dog's paws. To protect your dog, consider walking them during cooler times of the day, such as early morning or late evening. You can also use dog booties for extra protection or stick to grassy areas when possible. Always keep an eye on your dog for signs of discomfort, such as lifting their paws or limping.
