Pavement can burn a dog's feet at temperatures around 125°F (51.6°C) or higher. To protect your pet, test the pavement with your hand; if it's too hot to touch for more than 5 seconds, it's too hot for your dog's paws. Opt for walks during cooler times, like early morning or late evening, and prioritize grassy or shaded areas.
