Hot pavement can burn more than you think. ☀️🐾
As temperatures rise, sidewalks, asphalt, and even concrete can quickly become hot enough to injure your pet’s paw pads. If the ground feels too hot for the back of your hand after a few seconds, it’s too hot for your pet’s feet too.
To help protect your pets:
• Walk during cooler morning or evening hours
• Stick to shaded or grassy areas when possible
• Watch for limping, licking paws, or redness after walks
• Always bring water on outings
Sweet Petunia recently enjoyed some supervised outdoor time with our team, along with plenty of breaks to stay safe and comfortable in the heat ❤️
A little extra caution goes a long way during our Louisiana summers.
