Question for Yorkies in HOT Climates Hello all! I have a quick and rather strange question to ask. I want to take Allie out shopping (We have this nice outdoor facility in Panama City), but I was curious at what temperature the concrete becomes unbearably hot?? I noticed one day running around the tennis court that she wasn't comfy. I took my flip flops off and couldn't stand to be on that hot concrete? How much can her little paws take? Should I buy/make booties for her?? |
If the concrete is too hot for you it is too hot for her. Booties come in handy for that so yes I would get some |
I've seen pics of a couple of YT yorkies wearing the cutest little athletic/tennis shoes. Maybe something like that would work? |
I always use myself as a rule of thumb for their comfort. If it's too hot/cold/wet/windy/icky for me then it's too hot/cold/wet/windy/icky for them. :p Good grief, I've become my Mom!! :eek: Mom would say, "I'm cold Teresa, so you need to put a sweater on." :rolleyes: To answer your question, yes, the concrete can burn their pads just like it can burn our bare feet. Just remember that dogs do displace some of their body heat through their pads, so if you put shoes on her keep a closer eye on her overall hotness. |
