๐พ Too Hot for Your Hand, Too Hot for Your Hound ๐พ
Before your evening walk, check the pavement. Air temperature does not tell the whole story when it comes to asphalt.
77ยฐF air temp = 125ยฐF asphalt
86ยฐF air temp = 135ยฐF asphalt
87ยฐF air temp = 145ยฐF asphalt
The test: Press the back of your hand to the pavement and hold it for 7 seconds. If it is too hot for your hand, it is too hot for your hound's paws.
Stick to grass, early mornings, or late evenings when the sun has cooled things down. Your pets will thank you.
