Keep Paws Safe in Hot Weather | Phoenix News

Hot pavement? It’s a serious threat to your dog’s paws. When temps soar, asphalt can hit 150-180°F—enough to fry an egg and cause painful burns or blisters. Dogs’ paws are way more sensitive than human skin, so if it’s too hot for you, it’s way too hot for them. Test it yourself: hold your hand on the ground—if it’s uncomfortable, your pup definitely shouldn’t walk there. For safe walks, consider dog booties (but remove them at home to avoid sweat-related blisters). Smart pet parents know: a little caution keeps tails wagging and paws protected.
