| I don't think their paws are as sensitive as the bottom of our feet, but I could be wrong. If it's too hot for her, she might just walk on the grass. When Bella first started going for walks she wouldn't walk on the cement, only on the grass, and there are sometimes we walk on a gravel path and she doesn't like that either so she goes on the grass instead.

| Be very careful of the concrete, asphalt, brick, etc.!! If you wouldn't be comfortable walking barefooted, I wouldn't expect them to do so either. I'd suggest taking her out early in the morning or late in the day.

I agree with this. No hotter than you can stand. In AZ this is a real problem, especially with blacktop, and it holds the heat too, so even after it's cooled off a bit, the blacktop can be hot, so always check with your hand (or foot). I've seen the little booties, and wondered if Joey would wear them.

| I don't take my two out during the peak sun hours of the day because it's just too hot for them. Yes, I do believe that their paws are sensitive to extreme temperatures just as our feet are. Not only that, but they are sensitive to sun burns as well.
