If you leave in an area where it gets really hot during the summer, you need to protect your dog’s paws. Otherwise, their little paw cushions might get badly burnt, causing ruptures and blisters in their skin, which might lead to the loss of an entire layer of skin. Your vet will most likely prescribe medication, and bandaging will be necessary to protect the affected skin area. If you can, try to avoid walking your dog on asphalt soil whenever possible, or get them to wear little dog booties.
