Vets advise UK pet owners on how to safely walk dogs during the heatwave to prevent paw burns


As well as increasing the risk of heatstroke, warmer weather can also lead to dogs burning their paws on hot pavements - but there is a quick and easy way to avoid it

They also feature a non-slip sole and are waterproof, making them ideal for dogs who enjoy splashing in water or running on slippery surfaces like beach rocks. Although they provide less ventilation than the rubber pair, they're useful for keeping grit, stones and salt off your dog's paws in the winter, while also ensuring they have plenty of grip and protection on uneven surfaces, reports the Mirror. However, the optimal way to dodge any potential hazards or burns is to ensure you limit your walks to cooler parts of the day, like early mornings and evenings.
