Dogs are susceptible to heat-related illnesses, and their paws can be particularly sensitive to hot surfaces. Learn about the temperature limits for dogs and their paws, and discover tips to protect your pet during hot weather.</span><br></div><div style="text-align:left;"><br></div><div style="text-align:left;color:inherit;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma, sans-serif;">Know the signs of heatstroke in dogs.</span></div><div style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma, sans-serif;"><br></span></div><div style="text-align:left;color:inherit;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma, sans-serif;">Heatstroke is a serious condition that can be life-threatening for dogs. It occurs when their body temperature rises to dangerous levels and they are unable to cool down. Some signs of heatstroke in dogs include excessive panting, drooling, rapid breathing, lethargy, vomiting, and collapse. If you suspect your dog is suffering from heatstroke, it's important to act quickly. Move them to a cool, shaded area, offer them water to drink, and wet their body with cool (not cold) water. It's crucial to seek veterinary attention as soon as possible to ensure their safety and well-being.</span></div><div style="text-align:left;"><br></div><div style="text-align:left;color:inherit;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma, sans-serif;">Avoid walking your dog on hot pavement.</span></div><div style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma, sans-serif;"><br></span></div><div style="text-align:left;color:inherit;"><div style="color:inherit;"><div style="color:inherit;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma, sans-serif;">Walking your dog on hot pavement can be extremely dangerous for their paws. Asphalt and concrete can heat up quickly in the sun, reaching temperatures that can burn your dog's paw pads. To test if the pavement is too hot for your dog to walk on, place the back of your hand on the pavement for a few seconds. If it feels too hot for you, it's definitely too hot for your dog. Instead, opt for walking your dog on grass or dirt paths, or consider using protective <a href="https://amzn.to/3wREh6S" title="booties" rel="">booties</a> to shield their paws from the heat. Taking these precautions will help keep your furry friend safe and prevent painful paw pad burns.</span></div></div></div><div style="text-align:left;"><br></div><div style="text-align:left;color:inherit;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma, sans-serif;">Provide plenty of shade and water.</span></div><div style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma, sans-serif;"><br></span></div><div style="text-align:left;color:inherit;"><div style="color:inherit;"><div style="color:inherit;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma, sans-serif;">When the weather is hot, it's important to provide your dog with plenty of shade and water to keep them cool and hydrated. Make sure your dog has access to a shaded area where they can escape the direct sunlight. You can also set up a <a href="https://amzn.to/3D5SZH2" title="doggy pool" rel="">doggy pool</a> or provide a <a href="https://amzn.to/46Ijwri" title="sprinkler" rel="">sprinkler</a> for them to play in and cool off. Additionally, always make sure your dog has access to fresh, clean water throughout the day. Consider adding ice cubes to their water bowl to help keep it cool. By providing shade and water, you can help prevent your dog from overheating and ensure their safety during hot weather.</span></div></div></div><div style="text-align:left;"><br></div><div style="text-align:left;color:inherit;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma, sans-serif;">Use paw protection products.</span></div><div style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma, sans-serif;"><br></span></div><div style="text-align:left;color:inherit;"><div style="color:inherit;"><div style="color:inherit;"><div style="color:inherit;"><div style="color:inherit;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma, sans-serif;">In extreme temperatures, it's important to protect your dog's paws from hot surfaces like pavement and sand. These surfaces can quickly heat up and cause burns or discomfort for your furry friend. Consider using paw protection products such as <a href="https://amzn.to/3wREh6S" title="booties" rel="">booties</a>, <a href="https://amzn.to/46Ersd4" title="paw protection pads" rel="">paw protection pads</a>,&nbsp;or <a href="https://amzn.to/3JJUe2o" title="paw wax" rel="">paw wax</a> to create a barrier between your dog's paws and the hot ground. These products can help prevent burns and keep your dog's paws cool and comfortable. Additionally, it's a good idea to avoid walking your dog during the hottest parts of the day when the ground is at its hottest. Opt for early morning or evening walks when the temperatures are cooler. By taking these precautions and using paw protection products, you can ensure your dog's paws stay safe and healthy during hot weather.</span></div></div></div></div></div><div style="text-align:left;"><br></div><div style="text-align:left;color:inherit;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma, sans-serif;">Adjust exercise routines during hot weather.</span></div><div style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma, sans-serif;"><br></span></div><div style="text-align:left;"><div><span style="color:inherit;font-family:Tahoma, sans-serif;">When the weather gets hot, it's important to adjust your dog's exercise routine to keep them safe and comfortable. Avoid exercising your dog during the hottest parts of the day, as this can put them at risk of overheating. Instead, opt for early morning or evening walks when the temperatures are cooler. <a href="https://legend-acres-shop.square.site/" title="Ice Vests" rel="">Ice Vests</a></span><span style="color:inherit;font-family:Tahoma, sans-serif;">&nbsp;can be a great addition for the days you do have to be out and about with your dog.&nbsp; Additionally, be mindful of the surfaces your dog walks on.

A perfect time for you and the dogs in your life to get the great health benefits it provides as well as a great bonding time. While walking your dog is a way to help your pup get rid of extra amounts of energy, it is also a great source of exercise.&nbsp; According to data by Pet Obesity Prevention, above 50% of pets in America are overweight.&nbsp;We’ll admit that January might not be the best time for “Walk Your Dog Month.” What with the freezing cold, ice and snow, it’s hardly an enjoyable time to take your dog out for a walk.</span></div><span style="font-family:Tahoma, sans-serif;font-size:18px;"><div><br></div></span><p></p><div style="text-align:center;"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/8210105212803092980/9010311952145909287%23"><span style="font-family:Tahoma, sans-serif;font-size:18px;"><img border="0" height="218" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GIFABOr1P0g/XC_VIg7r90I/AAAAAAAA8TE/1IX6qKCX1osboMJSeqNOzj2n6AqecHw8wCLcBGAs/s320/shutterstock_3663639867.jpg" width="320"></span></a></div><p></p><div><span style="font-family:Tahoma, sans-serif;font-size:18px;"><br></span></div><span style="font-family:Tahoma, sans-serif;font-size:18px;"><div><br></div></span><p></p><div style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma, sans-serif;font-size:18px;">As much of the country endures a deep freeze, minus the South and Southwest United States, the thought of venturing outdoors may send a shiver down your spine. Instead, most of us would rather hibernate until spring arrives.</span></div><div><span style="font-family:Tahoma, sans-serif;font-size:18px;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Tahoma, sans-serif;font-size:18px;">With that said, your four-legged friend still needs daily exercise no matter what the thermometer reads. Whether it’s a walk around the block or playing with his favorite toys, daily activity offers your pup a plethora of health benefits related to digestive, behavioral and joint issues.&nbsp;Taking your dog for a daily stroll helps your dog to stay active.&nbsp; Consider what your dog does all day while you are away at work or running errands.&nbsp; Certain dog breeds such as pugs or bulldogs are generally known to be lazy.&nbsp; Once they hit old age, all they do is sleep.&nbsp; Ensuring your dog stays physically stimulated and active is vital to their well-being&nbsp;and will prolong their life.</span></div><div style="text-align:center;"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/8210105212803092980/9010311952145909287%23"><span style="font-family:Tahoma, sans-serif;font-size:18px;"><img border="0" height="221" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hyrPGrz6ca4/XC_VBu_hd1I/AAAAAAAA8TM/sliKH4HURzE1b1iO051rLeYsazrM3MIbgCEwYBhgL/s320/shutterstock_366363986.jpg" width="320"></span></a></div><div><span style="font-family:Tahoma, sans-serif;font-size:18px;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Tahoma, sans-serif;font-size:18px;">Did you know regular walks and exercise can help control weight, limit the risk of obesity and prevent digestive issues like constipation? Along with a healthy diet, regular exercise will help keep your dog happy and healthy for many years to come!</span></div><div><span style="font-family:Tahoma, sans-serif;font-size:18px;">It’s hardly a secret that many dogs tend to engage in destructive or aggressive behavior. Does your pup love to gnaw on your favorite shoes? Scratch furniture? Those common behaviors could be the result of pent up energy.</span></div><div style="text-align:center;"><br></div><div><span style="font-family:Tahoma, sans-serif;font-size:18px;">You can help your dog spend that excess energy by taking him out for a walk in the park. A tired dog is less likely to act destructively or beg for attention. You’ll soon discover that exercise is a great way to curb unruly behavior and help your dog sleep better!</span></div><div style="text-align:center;"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/8210105212803092980/9010311952145909287%23"><span style="font-family:Tahoma, sans-serif;font-size:18px;"><img border="0" height="230" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-KfONUOm9vvE/XC_VLKauNlI/AAAAAAAA8TQ/-YTq3d4aTWg6dYVBImaowYJ1huUwpKrTwCEwYBhgL/s320/shutterstock_746593594.jpg" width="320"></span></a></div><div><span style="font-family:Tahoma, sans-serif;font-size:18px;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Tahoma, sans-serif;font-size:18px;">So, are you ready to kick off “Walk Your Dog Month”?

Your pup will thank you later!</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:10px;"><span style="font-weight:700;font-size:18px;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma, sans-serif;">The Top Ten Reasons To Take Your Pet On A Daily Walk</span></span></div><div style="margin-bottom:10px;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma, sans-serif;font-size:18px;"><br></span></div><div style="margin-bottom:10px;"><span style="font-weight:700;font-size:18px;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma, sans-serif;">1. Gives dogs the social interaction that they crave</span></span></div><div style="margin-bottom:10px;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma, sans-serif;font-size:18px;">It's easy for you and your pup to become isolated during the winter months. To counteract the loneliness, make it a point to get outside even if the weather isn't perfect. Taking a stroll outside gives your pup more attention and interaction with you and any other brave souls who are out and about.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:10px;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma, sans-serif;font-size:18px;"><br></span></div><div style="margin-bottom:10px;"><span style="font-weight:700;font-size:18px;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma, sans-serif;">2. Provides socialization</span></span></div><div style="margin-bottom:10px;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma, sans-serif;font-size:18px;">If you have a puppy, it's particularly good to get him or her out on a walk to interact with new people, other dogs, and new situations. Don't wait for warmer months to take advantage of the natural socialization that will happen outdoors on a walk.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:10px;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma, sans-serif;font-size:18px;"><br></span></div><div style="margin-bottom:10px;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma, sans-serif;font-size:18px;">Even older dogs benefit for regular encounters with strangers to keep them from becoming too stodgy and inflexible.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:10px;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma, sans-serif;font-size:18px;"><br></span></div><div style="margin-bottom:10px;"><span style="font-weight:700;font-size:18px;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma, sans-serif;">3. Facilitates better training</span></span></div><div style="margin-bottom:10px;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma, sans-serif;font-size:18px;">Walks give you a great opportunity to show your dog who is the alpha of the pack – YOU! They also give you a chance to test out any&nbsp;harness training, leash training or other commands you and your dog have been working on. Start with short walks and just a few, clear commands. Be sure to praise your dog for a job well done. Training and walking will improve your relationship and your mutual satisfaction. Also, a dog that has been exercised is more likely to be calm and focused.&nbsp;There’s time to let them sniff and time to walk. You can start out slow or slow down when you get to a favorite spot. With time, they will adapt to your rhythm if you train them to trot along beside you.&nbsp;If you need help with leash training Legend Acres offers training classes.&nbsp; Visit&nbsp;<a href="/" title="www.Legend-Acres.com" target="_blank" rel="">www.Legend</a><a href="/" title="www.Legend-Acres.com" target="_blank" rel="">-</a><a href="/" title="www.Legend-Acres.com" target="_blank" rel="">Acres.com</a>&nbsp;for more information&nbsp;and registration.&nbsp;</span></div><div style="text-align:center;"><img src="/20230121_163249.jpg" style="width:465px !important;height:620.32px !important;max-width:100% !important;"></div><div><span style="font-family:Tahoma, sans-serif;font-size:18px;"><br></span></div><p><span style="color:inherit;font-family:Tahoma, sans-serif;font-size:18px;"><br></span></p><div style="margin-bottom:10px;"><span style="font-weight:700;font-size:18px;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma, sans-serif;">4. Conditions dogs to be less reactionary</span></span></div><div style="margin-bottom:10px;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma, sans-serif;font-size:18px;">Exposing your dog to a wide variety of sounds and sights while walking, such as to joggers, bicycles, and traffic will tend to keep them from being skittish and territorial. When your dog watches your peaceful demeanor with all of these circumstances, they will become desensitized to every little thing. This may translate into less barking at the mailman and reactions to every strange sound back at home.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:10px;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma, sans-serif;font-size:18px;"><br></span></div><div style="text-align:center;"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/8210105212803092980/9010311952145909287%23"><span style="font-family:Tahoma, sans-serif;font-size:18px;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-QuikPKM2GDc/XC_QYAaJEQI/AAAAAAAA8Sk/aqjInEfyfrAHJGY6pBVaXu0cehU8PlM9QCEwYBhgL/s320/30698011_1704861982893989_3501642916093231104_n.jpg" width="237"></span></a></div><div style="margin-bottom:10px;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma, sans-serif;font-size:18px;"><br></span></div><div style="margin-bottom:10px;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma, sans-serif;font-size:18px;"><br></span></div><div style="margin-bottom:10px;"><span style="font-weight:700;font-size:18px;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma, sans-serif;">5. Releasing pent-up energy</span></span></div><div style="margin-bottom:10px;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma, sans-serif;font-size:18px;">Exercise needs vary between dogs of different breeds and ages, but every dog benefits from a daily walk. Dogs that don't get their daily walk, may find unhealthy ways of expending the energy they have. Some dogs will become destructive or anxious. Remember - a properly exercised dog is a well-behaved dog!</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:10px;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma, sans-serif;font-size:18px;"><br></span></div><div style="text-align:center;"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/8210105212803092980/9010311952145909287%23"><span style="font-family:Tahoma, sans-serif;font-size:18px;"><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tcgvWz7x-f8/XC_QU1QKELI/AAAAAAAA8Sg/FcdM8-W-ElUYLlMV5fKt3gEPxB9j51dggCEwYBhgL/s1600/19260488_1409089072471283_5438915604510328125_n.jpg"></span></a></div><div style="margin-bottom:10px;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma, sans-serif;font-size:18px;"><br></span></div><div style="margin-bottom:10px;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma, sans-serif;font-size:18px;"><br></span></div><div style="margin-bottom:10px;"><span style="font-weight:700;font-size:18px;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma, sans-serif;">6. Keeps your pet mentally and physically sharp</span></span></div><div style="margin-bottom:10px;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma, sans-serif;font-size:18px;">Exploring the outdoors will provide your dog is all kinds of things to sniff, see, and hear. When your pet gets to use his or her senses while getting a physical workout, the increased activity exercises both mind and body. As humans, we'll enjoy the same benefits!</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:10px;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma, sans-serif;font-size:18px;">Your pup’s mental well-being is as important as its physical well-being.&nbsp; Walking your dog is an excellent way to stimulate their minds.&nbsp; Dogs have a very good time sniffing the trees and sidewalks because every encounter outside of their home is a new encounter.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:10px;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma, sans-serif;font-size:18px;">Remember it is January, and it gets dark early. If your dog walking activities take place in the predawn, late afternoon or evening hours, you have to ensure you are seen by pedestrians, motorists, bicyclists and other dog walkers. A&nbsp;lighted leash&nbsp;and lighted collar&nbsp;combination is good for your pup. It’s advisable to wear light-colored clothes, a reflective vest or jacket.</span></div><div><span style="font-family:Tahoma, sans-serif;font-size:18px;">If your work schedule doesn’t allow for time to walk your dog daily or if you have a medical condition that gets in the way, there are many&nbsp;benefits to hiring a dog walker.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:10px;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma, sans-serif;font-size:18px;"><br></span></div><div style="text-align:center;"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/8210105212803092980/9010311952145909287%23"><span style="font-family:Tahoma, sans-serif;font-size:18px;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-1yOug0ntveo/XC_Z_-fKXQI/AAAAAAAA8TY/twV5fUr7g0k_ZHVT_6RehfIv4SWIvqMjQCLcBGAs/s320/shutterstock_555022519.jpg" width="320"></span></a></div><div style="margin-bottom:10px;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma, sans-serif;font-size:18px;"><br></span></div><div style="margin-bottom:10px;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma, sans-serif;font-size:18px;"><br></span></div><div style="margin-bottom:10px;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma, sans-serif;font-size:18px;"><b>7. Lifts the spirits and Strengthens&nbsp;Bonding</b></span></div><div style="margin-bottom:10px;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma, sans-serif;font-size:18px;">Fresh air and natural light have a profound effect on our overall feeling of well-being. Being stuck inside in the winter can cause lethargy and depression in humans which is known as Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). The same condition has been documented in household pets.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:10px;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma, sans-serif;font-size:18px;"><br></span></div><div style="margin-bottom:10px;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma, sans-serif;font-size:18px;">Have you ever noticed your pets migrating around the carpet, following a patch of light? Aside from trying to stay warm, your pet may be trying to feel better mentally and emotionally.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:10px;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma, sans-serif;font-size:18px;"><br></span></div><div style="margin-bottom:10px;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma, sans-serif;font-size:18px;">Getting outside during the day allows light to pass through the eyes and into the brain which affects two mood hormones - melatonin and serotonin. Walking will do a world of good for both you and your pet!</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:10px;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma, sans-serif;font-size:18px;"><br></span></div><div style="margin-bottom:10px;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma, sans-serif;font-size:18px;">Dog walking is a wonderful bonding experience for a pup and its owner.&nbsp; It is also a good time to focus on training your dog while strengthening the bond between you two. To maximize this time, focus on your dog. Don’t walk and talk on the phone.&nbsp; The more time you spend with your dog, the more attached they become to you. The bond strengthens when you give them love, affection, attention, and companionship, not just food and water.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:10px;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma, sans-serif;font-size:18px;"><br></span></div><div style="margin-bottom:10px;"><span style="font-weight:700;font-size:18px;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma, sans-serif;">8. Minimizes conflict between pets</span></span></div><div style="margin-bottom:10px;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma, sans-serif;font-size:18px;">If walking multiple dogs, their bond will be strengthened due to the feeling of being part of a pack. This will help prevent behavioral problems between them.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:10px;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma, sans-serif;font-size:18px;"><br></span></div><div style="margin-bottom:10px;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma, sans-serif;font-size:18px;">The cats at home will also appreciate your dog's relaxed demeanor when they return from their outing.&nbsp;</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:10px;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma, sans-serif;font-size:18px;"><br></span></div><div style="margin-bottom:10px;"><span style="font-weight:700;font-size:18px;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma, sans-serif;">9. Improves the length and quality of life for your dog</span></span></div><div style="margin-bottom:10px;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma, sans-serif;font-size:18px;">As noted above, a daily walk improves mental, emotional and social health. It should go without saying, but exercise improves physical health by improving circulation and fighting obesity.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:10px;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma, sans-serif;font-size:18px;"><br></span></div><div style="margin-bottom:10px;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma, sans-serif;font-size:18px;">Obese dogs have trouble moving, and the excess weight strains all of your dog's organs and joints.
