Use The 5-Second Rule In The Summer Heat for Pets
 

Wondering if it’s too hot to walk your dog on the sidewalk or asphalt street?

Hold your hand on the surface for 5 seconds.

if you can’t do it or it’s uncomfortable then it’s not safe to walk your pup!
It's a no-brainer.

Great bit of advice--thanks!

Great advice. I tried passing along similar info about a month ago to our loop group email but the moderator refused to forward it on for fear of offending his friends (actually the idiots walking their dogs on hot asphalt and concrete).

When it’s hot I walk my dog barefoot, if it’s too hot for me, it too hot for her.:ohdear:
