☀️🐾 Hot pavement alert! As temperatures rise, so does the risk of paw burns. Protect your pet’s toes by testing the pavement with your hand—if it's too hot for you, it's too hot for them! Opt for walks during cooler hours and stick to grassy areas when possible. Let's keep those paws cool and happy this summer!
