The surface temperature is approaching 60 degrees Celsius. Doing this is simply killing the dog!
There is data showing:
When the outdoor air temperature reaches 30℃, the road temperature can be as high as 57℃
The temperature reaches 31℃, and the asphalt pavement temperature can reach 62℃
This temperature may be nothing to humans wearing shoes,
But for a "barefoot" dog, it's like walking on a teppanyaki.
Walking the dog in summer
How to prevent their little jiojio from being burned?
Pay attention to dog walking time
The temperature at noon is the highest time of the day. Taking your dog out at this time will not only burn your dog’s feet, but may also cause heatstroke.
Therefore, it is best to choose early morning and evening.
Tips for going out:
Even in the early morning or evening, the surface temperature can still be very high sometimes. Before going out, you can put the back of your hand on the ground to feel it for 5-10 seconds. If you don’t feel uncomfortable, it means your dog can also accept this temperature. On the other hand, if you can’t stand being burned, your dog will definitely not be able to stand it either.
Avoid cement and asphalt floors
When you go out to walk your dog, avoid cement and asphalt roads, and try to walk on dirt or grass.
Put shoes on your dog
In order to prevent the dogs’ little paws from being burned by the road, you can wear small shoes for them when going out to separate the road and the paws and protect the dogs’ little paws.
Special attention
When you find that your dog has the following symptoms, you need to pay special attention:
limping or even refusing to walk.
Keep licking your feet,
The color of the flesh pads is darker or black than usual.
Blisters or redness and swelling appear on the foot pads
If the dog shows these symptoms, it is recommended that the owners take them to the pet store for treatment immediately, because the dog's paws need to be walked outside frequently, which can easily cause potential complications.
The dog’s little claws are very useful. In the hot summer, every time the dog owner comes back from walking the dog, he must not forget to check the dog’s little claws.Claws~
