Yeah you just spent $60 on holistic treats before allowing your dog's feet to get burned off walking back to the car.

Jokes on you. My multepoo only rides in her a/c'd stroller after treatments and play dates.

If they walk on it long enough, the pain goes away, though, cos they never feel anything again.

Are you familiar with the composition of the bottom of a canine's paw?

My Lab never complains.

We even let her go in the water sometimes too.

Must suck having a pussy dog.

It's why you shouldn't trim the hair on the foot pad area if the dog has longer hair.

My wonder Yorkie even sees the sun she is finding a tree to lay under.

My dog won't even go outside if it is hot out.

What about when the ground is frosted and frozen in the yard? Is that ok? My dog stays outside, so it doesn't really walk on the blacktop because I don't need a dog park or whatever people without yards do with their dogs. But he loves it when it's cold. Can't keep him on the porch.

I feel bad for the dogs owned by a lot of the people in this thread.

Hopefully these people are just being assholes for the sake of thinking they're funny (they're not) and fishing for upvotes... otherwise there's a lot of clueless dog owners here.

Just because they don't have much feeling on the bottom of their pads and aren't in pain (or showing it) doesn't mean it's okay or safe for them to be walking on.

It gets hot enough in the summer in the south to fry an egg on asphalt, and you actually think it's not going to hurt your dog?

I see dogs walking on blacktop asphalt when it is hot as frick. Without an owner around. Never really thought about it but it seems like if it bothers them they wouldn't do it..

I test out the heat of the road or sidewalk by giving them the choice to walk in grass/dirt next to it. I'm always amazed at how often they choose the hot asphalt or concrete, so I assume it doesn't bother them too much.

Look, when me and my lab go for a run I try to put him on grass, but every time he goes back on the road. Would he do that if it hurts? A dog's foot pad is different from our feet. Ya know?
