Dog walking when it’s hot.
Dog walkers, please use COMMON SENSE when walking your dog, especially on asphalt.
Put your bare hand down on the pavement and if it’s too hot for you, then it’s too hot for your dogs paws. THINK…..

Boston is very hot in the summer with both the concrete buildings, exhaust from cars and mostly sidewalks with no grass ,the family dog and all his dog companions don’t seem to mind walking and going the bathroom on the sidewalks maybe he doesn’t walk as far but that’s only because he is 16 andFYI he’s never had a sweater on in the winter and none of his friends either, it’s call acclimating to your environment , just like people here should do instead of living in ice cold houses and then complaining about how hot it is when they go out

I just make sure that when it's really hot, that my dog walks across the middle of my neighbor's yards, where the grass is nice and cool...

Easy solution, but few or none will do it. Be barefoot when you walk your dogs.

dogs paws are way different than human feet that have been covered for centuries. do not compare the two. common sense isn't a prerequisite to being alive, but it should. |

Our vet tells stories how so many owners bring in pups with burned paws from walking on pavement. My suggestion was a version of her suggestion, which was to place your hand on the pavement. So, if you don't mind, I will take the advice of a person that is trained and experience in dog care over a random stranger on the internet. |

Soooooo what does your vet say about all those dogs that live in hot 24/7 concrete / no grass cities all over the world , or my family dog and his friends prancing around in a hot Summer , in Boston where the streets can get very hot , maybe there pads get toughened up for it and for the winter season also.I spent a large part of my life in very tropical places around the world, dogs seem to be able to handle hot streets pretty well
