Don't forget that pets are affected by the hot weather as well.
Not only do they feel the heat index, but their paws can get burnt if you're not careful.

PROTECT YOUR PETS! The extreme heat wave poses a huge risk to pets. As temperatures soar, the pavement and asphalt may reach over 160° and can cause severe burns to pets paws! 🐾

Pet Owners Beware...This type of heat can lead to paw burns in just 1 minute for a dog walking on pavement, and about 5 minutes on the sidewalk. Hydration is very important for pets and humans alike, but the hot surfaces are another concern.

FRIENDLY REMINDER: As many gear up for the impending heat wave, it's important to watch where you (and your pets) are walking. As air temperatures surge into the 90s, both concrete and asphalt temperatures will catapult to dangerous levels. That can burn your pups paws if you're not careful.
