    Hot pavement can burn dogs’ paws in less than a minute

    Hot pavement, particularly asphalt, can reach temperatures high enough to burn dogs' paws within a minute, even when air temperatures are in the 70s or 80s. Surface temperatures exceed air temperatures significantly, with asphalt reaching 130°F at 85°F air. Recommendations include the 'seven-second test' for pavement heat, walking during cooler times, and using protective measures like booties.
