Before you take your dog for a walk on asphalt on a hot day, place the back of your hand on the asphalt surface for at least 7 seconds to judge if it is cool enough for your dog’s feet. Asphalt can be a lot hotter than the air temperature. For example: At air temperature of 77 degrees, the asphalt can be 125 degrees. At that temperature, skin destruction can happen in 60 seconds!
