Tips For Walking Your Dog In The Summer Heat

Tips For Walking Your Dog In The Summer Heat

    1. Avoid walking during the hottest part of the day which is usually between 10 am and 4 pm. It’s better to walk in the early morning or late evening
    2. If the pavement is too hot for your bare feet, it’s too hot for your dog’s paws.
    3. Bring plenty of water for both you and your dog.
    4. Take frequent breaks during the walk and stop to rest in shaded spots.
    5. ot surfaces like asphalt or sand can burn your dog's paws. Protective booties can shield their paws from extreme heat but walking on grassy areas is a better alternative.
    6. Summertime means more bugs. Use preventive treatments for fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes.

Enjoy the beautiful summer weather but think of safety and comfort for both you and your dog.                                                                                                                        https://www.getkennel.com
