Summertime is here!
☀️🐾 HEAT ADVISORY FOR PET PARENTS! 🐾☀️
Just because the air temperature feels manageable doesn’t mean the ground is safe for your pet. Asphalt can reach dangerous temperatures in minutes and cause painful burns to sensitive paw pads.
🔥 77°F Air Temp = 125°F Asphalt
🔥 86°F Air Temp = 135°F Asphalt
🔥 87°F Air Temp = 143°F Asphalt
At 125°F, paw pad injuries can occur in as little as 60 seconds.
🐶 Before every walk:
✅ Test the pavement with the back of your hand for 7 seconds.
✅ Walk during early morning or evening hours.
✅ Stay on grass whenever possible.
✅ Bring water for both you and your pet.
✅ Watch for signs of heat stress or paw discomfort.
Remember: If it’s too hot for your bare feet, it’s too hot for their paws.
Help us spread awareness and keep pets safe this summer. Share this post with fellow pet lovers! ❤️💙
