It’s august and we are all dreaming of pumpkin spice lattes!
Just a little reminder, even if it’s getting a bit cooler out, still be cautious of walking your dog on certain hard surfaces.
Paw pad injuries can be scary for you and very painful for your pup.

Before going for a walk try the 7second rule.
Press the back of your hand against the asphalt for 7 seconds. If it's too hot for your hand, it's too hot for the pads of your dog's feet.
You can also use your bare foot for this test.
Try walking in grass, shaded areas or later in the evening.
