☀️🐾 Summer safety reminder from the team at Ta**us Academy 🐾☀️
As temperatures rise, sidewalks and pavement heat up much faster than most pet parents expect. A quick "hand test" can help: if you cannot comfortably hold your hand on the pavement for 7 seconds, it is too hot for paws.
Spring and early summer are also when we see more paw irritation from long walks on warm surfaces, so early morning and evening walks are usually the best move!
Need a little help making sure your pup gets safe, enriching exercise during the day? Drop them off for daycare and schedule a neighborhood walk with one of our friendly Pack Members! Your dog will enjoy one-on-one attention, extra mental stimulation, and a chance to stretch their legs while temperatures are more manageable.
Save this for later, and share it with a fellow pet parent 💛
