But while you\u2019re stepping out in sandals, your dog is walking barefoot on sizzling asphalt, sand, and cement\u2014which can spell trouble for those tender paws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lincolnhillsvet.com\/\">Lincoln Hills Veterinary Hospital<\/a>, we care about every step your pup takes. That\u2019s why we\u2019re sharing our top tips for paw protection this summer\u2014so your dog can enjoy every adventure, without the risk of painful paw burns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Summer Paw Protection Tips Every Pet Parent Should Know<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1. Try the 5-Second Asphalt Test<\/strong><br>Before heading out, place the back of your hand on the asphalt or cement for five seconds. If it\u2019s too hot for your hand, it\u2019s too hot for your dog\u2019s paws. Simple and effective, this quick check can prevent serious burns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. Walk Smart\u2014Time It Right<\/strong><br>Schedule your dog\u2019s walk time for early mornings or late evenings when the ground is cooler. The midday sun turns sidewalks and streets into hot plates\u2014not ideal for tender paws. Cooler walks are not only safer, but they\u2019re also more enjoyable for both of you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. Gear Up for Paw Protection<\/strong><br>Protective booties can shield your dog\u2019s feet from hot surfaces, sharp objects, and rough terrain. They might take some getting used to, but many pups adapt quickly. Try paw balms or waxes if your dog can\u2019t get the hang of walking in booties. Balms and waxes form a protective barrier while moisturizing and soothing paw pads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. Stick to Softer Surfaces<\/strong><br>Seek out shaded routes, grassy parks, and dirt trails whenever possible. Avoid dark asphalt and concrete, which soak up heat and retain it long after the sun goes down. Grass is gentler on the feet\u2014and much cooler for puppy paws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5. Inspect Paws After Every Outing<\/strong><br>Check for blisters, redness, or debris between the toes. Keeping paws clean and moisturized helps prevent injury and infection. It\u2019s a small step that makes a big difference in summer safety. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lincolnhillsvet.com\/services\/urgent-care.html\">Contact us immediately<\/a> if you find any deep cuts on your pet\u2019s paws or if you notice swelling, redness, discharge, or odor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>6. Stay Hydrated<\/strong><br>While not directly related to paws, proper hydration helps your dog regulate his or her body temperature and stay safe in the summer heat. Bring water and take frequent breaks, especially on longer outings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Happy Paws, Happy Summer!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you\u2019re hitting the trails around Lincoln, exploring Folsom Lake, or just strolling your neighborhood, protecting your dog\u2019s paws is a must for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lincolnhillsvet.com\/blog\/preparing-your-pets-for-summer\/\">safe and enjoyable summer adventures<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Need help choosing the right paw protection gear or to check for signs of heat damage? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lincolnhillsvet.com\/staff\/ourstaff.html\">The team<\/a> at Lincoln Hills Veterinary Hospital is here to help.
