If you like to go for a run — or gentle stroll — with your dog about lunchtime in the middle of summer, veterinarians are urging you to think again.
The message from central Queensland veterinarian Jocelyn Birch Baker is if it's too hot for you to go walking with bare feet, it's too hot for your dog.
"We don't notice how hot the ground is because we're always wearing shoes," Dr Birch Baker said.
