Have you ever wondered how dogs feel about those lovely walks in summer? It is so easy to forget some of the simplest things that our dogs know.
For example, have you ever tried to walk barefoot on the bitumen or concrete paths in the heat of the summer? If so you know how scorchingly hot it is!
So if you are taking your dog for a walk, please remember that you are wearing shoes and your pet isn’t (as far as we know!) – so either walk in the cool of the morning or, if you are walking in the evenings, TEST how hot the ground/path is before you ask your dog to walk anywhere other than on grass.
Burnt feet are very painful for your pet – and you don’t need vet bills for something so easily avoided!
