Summer walks: test the road before you step out. Press the back of your hand on the pavement for about five seconds. If it is too hot for your hand, it is too hot for your dog's paws. In the hot months, walk early in the morning or after sunset, stay on grass or in the shade where you can, and carry water for both of you. Short-nosed dogs such as pugs and bulldogs feel the heat sooner, so keep their walks shorter.
