When is it too hot to walk your dog?

Learn when it's too hot to walk your dog, with heatstroke triggers and signs, as temperatures rise. Adjust your routine during hot weather to keep pets cool and comfortable - do the pavement test before walks and avoid running or cycling. Signs of heatstroke include excessive panting and confusion; cool your dog down, contact a vet, provide shade, water, and avoid leaving them in hot vehicles. Keep pets cool with shady spots, water, frozen snacks, avoid sunburn with pet-safe sunscreen, and care for them on the beach.
