Hot pavements are not good for paws

Gosh its hot, but I do love the Sun I tend to bark at my mum a lot to let me out as I do love a Sun bathe.

But its not good to walk in as it can burn our paws so very quickly unfortunately you don't feel the heat like we do as you wear shoes so the rule of thumb is if you can't walk on the pavements/patio with bare feet then don't walk us. So at the moment we are walking in the early hours of the morning and very late evening.

If you do get burnt paws it is suggested that you take your dog to the vet but if you can't wash the paws in a antibacterial soap and rinse thoroughly. Pat the paws dry with a clean towel and pour over an antiseptic like betadine (you can purchase betadine from amazon for £9.99 a tube always a good thing to have around) over the burnt, blistered paw and allow to dry. This is also good for cut paws as well.

This will also give you an idea of how hot things can get, so please think before you take your fur baby for a walk in this heat.
