HOT PAWS, BIG PROBLEM!
Your pets feel the heat just like you do, except they can't directly tell you when it hurts. On hot days, pavement temperatures skyrocket, and what feels warm to us can be devastatingly dangerous for them.

🔥 When it’s 90°F outside, asphalt can reach 148°F
🔥 At 95°F, that surface hits 162°F
🔥 And at 100°F, the pavement can sizzle to a skin-melting 175°F

At 125°F, permanent skin damage can occur in just 60 seconds. That means a quick walk around the block could leave your pet in serious pain or worse.

A general rule of thumbs, if you can't leave your hand on the pavement for 5-10 seconds WITHOUT it burning, it is WAYYYY too hot for their paws.

Here are some tips to avoid the hot pavement:

✅ Walk early or late when the ground is cooler
✅ Always test pavement with your hand—if it’s too hot for you, it’s too hot for them
✅ Stick to grass or shaded areas
✅ Keep pets hydrated and indoors when possible

🐶🐱 They trust you to keep them safe. Let’s not make summer a season of suffering for our furry family members.
