Hot surfaces can be harmful to a dog’s paws. Here’s what you need to know:
Paw Burns: Pavement, asphalt, or artificial grass can become incredibly hot, causing discomfort, blisters, and burns on a dog’s paw pads. If the temperature is 85°F (29.4°C) or higher without the chance for the pavement to cool down, it’s too hot for safe walking. To check, place your hand on the pavement—if it’s too hot for your hand, it’s too hot for your dog’s paws.
Heat-Related Issues: Hot pavement can increase a dog’s body temperature and contribute to heatstroke. Normal resting temperature for dogs is 99–102.5°F (37.2–39.2°C). Any temperature over 104°F (40°C) signals heat stress, and over 106°F (41.1°C) is heatstroke, requiring emergency care.
Preventive Measures: To condition your dog’s paws, walk on pavement during cool weather—it helps toughen them. When it’s hot, avoid walking on scorching surfaces and opt for grass or shaded areas instead.🐾🐶🔥 #DogsofOurWorld

Happy Father's Day to All of the Doggo Fathers!
Remember to exercise those pups!
Most dogs benefit from anywhere between 30 minutes to two hours of exercise per day. A daily walk of at least 30 minutes is a good starting point, but you can adjust based on your dog’s breed, age, and health. Remember, outdoor time isn’t just about physical exercise—it’s also an opportunity for bonding, exploration, and socialization with other dogs. If you’re dealing with freezing temperatures, especially for smaller dogs with shorter coats, limit outdoor time to 15-20 minutes at a stretch.🐾🏄♀️🚴♂️

Did you know?! Dogs can indeed participate in yoga, and it’s called “Doga.” 🐶🧘♀️
Doga (dog yoga) is a practice where humans and their furry companions engage in yoga together. Here are some interesting points about Doga:
Bonding: Doga provides a wonderful bonding experience for both you and your dog. Just like bonding with human children, these activities strengthen your relationship and help your dog feel wanted and needed.
Physical Benefits: While your dog might not master complex yoga poses, they benefit from the stretching and concentration. The physical exercise helps burn off excess energy, and the massage and stretching promote relaxation.🐶🐚✨
