Don't give your dog a hot foot
Summer temperatures are already way past warm and will get higher before the season ends. An air temperature of 77°F is rather pleasant, but the asphalt underfoot is 125°F. That is hot enough to burn paws and destroy skin in 60 seconds. An air temperature of 86°F still seems rather comfortable, but the asphalt your dog is walking on is 135°F. You can fry an egg on the pavement in 5 minutes at 131°F.
Press the back of your hand against the surface for seven seconds. Asphalt, concrete or sand that is too hot for your hand, is too hot for your dog's paws.
