If you can't walk barefoot bc the pavement is too hot, neither should your dog. Be aware of what hot pavement will do to their paws. Walking on hot pavement can cause blistering/bleeding/burning! SO painful for them!!! A few ways to help prevent this: walk EARLY in the morning and later in the evening, walk on the grass (not dry dead grass, it can be hot and painful when poking their paws) or walk in the shade.

@Howling_Mad_Creations Are dog shoes a thing? Genuinely want to know.
@gocu54
Yes, dog shoes are a thing! They actually do help protect their paws when walking on hot pavement. You just have to make sure you get the right size where it is comfortable for your dog to walk in. It also might take a little training because they don't like wearing shoes 😂
@Howling_Mad_Creations Oh cool! If I ever get a dog, I'll buy some for him or her. Something stylish to protect their paws. So cute! thanks for telling me.
