How Hot Is the Pavement Really?

The outside air temperature is not the same as the pavement temperature. Enjoying a summer stroll with your canine companion may seem harmless; however, asphalt temperatures can be up to 60 degrees hotter than the air temperature. For perspective, hot asphalt can fry an egg in five minutes. Air temperature and various parameters like surface material, cloud cover, wind, daytime, and humidity influence pavement temperatures.

As a general rule, asphalt temperatures vary with air temperature, as shown below:

Air Temperature:

77

86

90

Asphalt Temperature:

125

135

140

How Fast Can Dogs Burn Their Paws on Asphalt?

It only takes 60 seconds on the pavement, which is 125?, for a dog’s pads to burn. This means the pavement could be potentially dangerous when the air temperature is 77.

An excellent way to test if the pavement is safe for your dog is the “seven-second rule:”

Place the back of your hand on the pavement. If you cannot hold it there for at least seven seconds, the surface is too warm for your dog!

What Are TheWays To Prevent Pad Burn?

  1. Walk Your Dog When It Is Cool
  2. Try to walk your dog early in the morning (before 10 a.m.) or later at night (after 7 p.m.) when the pavement may be cooler.
  3. Avoid walking your dog in the afternoon or early evening when it’s hot outside.
  4. Stay on the Grass
  5. While many surfaces can conduct and retain heat, it is essential to minimize contact with asphalt, concrete, stones, sand, and hot surfaces.
  6. Check Their Paws Frequently
  7. Check for blisters, cuts, cracks, sores, or foreign objects that cause abrasions. Make sure to routinely check the asphalt using the seven-second rule and the back of your hand.
  8. Use Paw Wax. Special wax can be applied to a dog’s paw pads before walking and dries in seconds to provide a protective barrier.
  9. Dog Shoes. Your dog may be initially averse to wearing booties; however, they can be a solution for extreme weather conditions and are sure to protect your dog from hot pavement. It is crucial to get the right size and shoes with rubber or neoprene soles, as they are most protective against damaging surfaces. These boots, however, should not be worn for great lengths of time, as the sweat glands in your dog’s paws allow body temperature regulation.
