A Safety Tip for the “Dog Days” of Summer

☀️ A Safety Tip for the “Dog Days” of Summer 🐾

Did you know that when the air is just 86°F, asphalt can heat up to 135°F? That’s hot enough to burn your dog’s paw pads in under a minute.

🐶 At Cavachons by Design, we care deeply about every pup’s well-being—even after they leave our arms and join your family.

📌 Paw Safety Tips: 🔹 Walk early in the morning or later in the evening
🔹 Stick to shady paths or grassy routes
🔹 Use paw balms or dog booties for extra protection (find our favorites in the Amazon store)
🔹 Always do the 7-second hand test: Place the back of your hand on the pavement. If it’s too hot to hold comfortably, it’s too hot for your pup.

💬 Remember: Even a short potty break on hot pavement can cause painful blisters or long-term paw damage.

❤️ Let’s keep those precious paws safe all summer long. Because at Cavachons by Design, our pups are family for life.
