In heat like we are experiencing, dog's paws can burn very quickly on hot asphalt.
We all appreciate “comfortable” weather, including our best four-legged buddies. Unfortunately, we don’t see that too often around these parts. This week is going to be particularly hot, so here are some numbers and reminders when it comes to how quickly dog’s paws can burn., 85 degrees is a good benchmark for when it becomes too hot for an outing with your dog. Artificial grass, pavement, and especially asphalt can become dangerous for the pads on your dog’s paws.
The American Kennel Club recommends walking your dog often in cooler weather. This helps toughen up the paws for when hotter weather rolls around. You’ll want to keep their pads moisturized, too. You can even purchase shoes for your dog that will protect their paws.Not only do you need to worry about the feet, but overall heat illness is a concern, too. Just like with us humans, dogs can have heat strokes. Excess drool and lethargy can be signs that your dog is suffering a heat illness.
Overall, humans and canines alike will want to take it easy in this heat. Near triple-digit temperatures are expected into the weekend.Justin Horne is a meteorologist and reporter for KSAT 12 News.
