The Ultimate Guide for Keeping Your Dog Safe this Summer

Summertime is a favorite amongst dogs and humans alike! Whether you’re traveling for vacation or spending more time outdoors, we love to bring our furry friends along.

However, rising temperatures can have a significant impact on your dog. Dogs require multiple walks and potty breaks daily, and for apartment dwellers in the city, navigating sizzling hot concrete and cement can be particularly challenging. Did you know even fake turf can get superheated to temperatures between 120 and 180 degrees Fahrenheit?

 

 

Fresh Patch is made with California-grown REAL GRASS that stays cooler than the hot pavement or fake turf.

Here are some essential tips to keep your dog’s safe this summer season:

  1. Check the Weather: Always check the temperature before heading out. Ensure your dog stays hydrated to help them cope with the heat.
  2. Do the Cement Test: Before walking your dog, place the back of your hand on the pavement for seven seconds. If it’s too hot for you, it’s too hot for your dog’s paws.
  3. Time Your Walks: Schedule walks for early mornings or evenings when the ground is cooler and the sun is less intense.
  4. Use Fresh Patch Grass Potty Pads: Fresh Patch provides easy potty access during the heat of the day. It’s great as a dog port-a-potty and also serves as a cooling play pad.

By following these tips, you can ensure your dog stays safe and comfortable during the hot summer months.
