Itâs not just the sun that sizzles in summer.
Concrete, bricks, and pool decks can reach up to 140°F (60°C) in peak heat â enough to cause serious paw burns in seconds.
And your dog? They canât complain.
They just tough it out, silently suffering while trying to stay close to you.
But not anymore. Letâs fix that.
đ„ The Real Risks Beneath Their Paws
1. Paw Pad Burns
If itâs too hot for your hand, itâs too hot for their paws.
Dogs can suffer blisters, cracked skin, and limping after just 60 seconds on a scorching surface.
2. Heatstroke Happens Fast
Dogs cool down through their paws and tongues. But if theyâre stuck on a hot surface, they absorb more heat than they release.
Early signs? Heavy panting, glazed eyes, vomiting.
Late signs? Lethargy, collapse â and a trip to the emergency vet.
3. Discomfort & Anxiety
Even without burns, hot surfaces stress dogs out. Theyâll avoid the pool, the deck, even you â and youâll wonder why.
đ§ How to Protect Your Pup This Summer
â
1. The 5-Second Test:
Before letting your dog walk on concrete or a deck, press the back of your hand to it for 5 seconds. Too hot for you = too hot for them.
â
2. Offer Shade + Water:
Always provide a shaded area and plenty of cool, fresh water nearby.
â
3. Use Paw Balms or Booties:
Paw wax or breathable booties can help â but theyâre not always comfortable for long use.
