🚨 PAW ALERT: How Hot is Too Hot? 🚨
​With temperatures climbing, we want to share some vital safety numbers to keep our furry family members safe. Dogs experience heat entirely differently than we do, and what feels like a warm day to us can quickly become a medical emergency for them.
​Here is what you need to know about pavement temperatures and how we adjust our care during high-heat days to protect your pets.
​☀️ The Asphalt Heat Index
​Asphalt acts like a giant heating pad—it absorbs solar radiation and traps it, keeping the surface scorching hot even well into the evening hours.
​When it’s 85°F out... The asphalt can spike to 130°F to 135°F.
​When it’s 106°F out... The asphalt can skyrocket to a staggering 170°F in direct sunlight.
​🐾 The 7-Second Rule: Press the back of your hand firmly to the pavement for 7 seconds. If it’s too hot for you, it is far too hot for your dog's paw pads! Paw tissue damage can happen in less than 60 seconds at 125°F.
​🛑 When is it Time to Stay Indoors?
​Because dogs can't sweat like humans—relying mostly on panting to cool down—they can succumb to heatstroke incredibly fast.
​🐕 Standard Pups
​80°F – 85°F (Caution Zone): Stick strictly to the grass, keep outdoor time very brief, and maximize shade.
​85°F and Above (Inside Only): All traditional outdoor walks should be suspended. Outdoor time should be limited strictly to quick potty breaks on the grass before heading straight back to the A/C.
​🦮 Brachycephalic Breeds (Smooshy-Faced Pups)
​Breeds with shortened airways—like Boxers, Mastiffs, Pugs, Frenchies, and Bulldogs—have a severely compromised cooling system. They cannot pant efficiently enough to cool themselves down.
​70°F – 75°F (Caution Zone): Limit intense play and monitor closely.
​75°F and Above (Inside Only): For a flat-faced dog, 75°F to 80°F can quickly become life-threatening. They need to stay in a cool, air-conditioned environment.

As of today, I am on week 2 of the healing process. Thank you to everyone who has reached out and checked up on me. I really appreciate it. Healing is going well, things look good. I am working towards getting back on track and taking care of pups.

And it's a go! June 5th, I will finally be having surgery, which will officially put me out for 2 months from that point. I apologize for the inconvenience, but I am so grateful for all of you and your support.
