When is it too hot to walk your dog? This is a question that lots of pup parents have as the weather gets warmer. Since there isn’t a definitive answer, it can be tricky to try and work it out, but things like the weather, the dog, and the length and intensity of the walk should all be considered.

Going for a walk in the wrong conditions can lead to issues like burnt paws, overheating, and heatstroke in dogs, with the latter being potentially deadly. Since dogs don’t sweat like we do, it’s important to learn how to cool down a dog, as it’s not so easy for them to do this.
