Paw pads can burn on a surface temp of 111°F. If you are walking your dog downtown today without protectant on their feet you could be causing them unnecessary pain. Not to mention the stress of crowds and heat. Please leave them at home!

This holiday weekend is going to be brutal. Heat stroke is real and we have seen it in lesser temperatures this summer. Please leave your pets safe at home, especially if you are visiting the festival. The pavement can burn their feet and there is little to no shade. Be smart and make the best decision to keep your pet safe!
