This Vet Explains How To Keep Your Pup's Paws Healthy In All Seasons

We take care of our bodies by eating right, exercising, and sleeping. Many of us know that our daily routine is supposed to include personal grooming.

As you get older, you give yourself brief exams to look for anything out of the ordinary. How often do you think about your dog’s health – especially their foot health? Did you know that a good rule of thumb for walking your dog outside in the summer is to touch the pavement with the back of your hand?

If you can’t hold your hand there (on the hot pavement) for more than a few seconds, then you shouldn’t let your dog walk on it. If the pavement is too hot, it can actually cause burns to their feet. This clip will give you an introduction to your dog’s feet. The veterinarian is going to tell you what things you can do to make sure your dog’s feet are protected all year long.
