Hot Dogs and Hot Paws! These Summer Essentials Can Protect Your Dog's Paws
Hot dogs get hot paws, and those paws would hurt! Luckily, there are some things that can be done to protect those precious paws from the scorching heat. Did you know that even if the temperature outside is under 38 degrees Celsius, the asphalt surface could still reach over 38 degrees Celsius? That means, it would really hurt your dog’s paws to walk across those burning hot surfaces. While a dog’s paws are naturally tough, they are not designed to walk across man-made surfaces that heat up way faster than natural surfaces.
Dog Shoes for Hot Paws?
Using dog shoes to protect hot paws is an option, but most dogs are not the biggest fans of those shoes. It is not uncommon to use dog shoes a few times, get a few laughs from how cute they look, and then forget about using them altogether at some point. For one, it takes a lot of work to strap on 4 shoes every time you go out with your dog. Secondly, most doggie furkids dislike wearing shoes. If your dog prefers to go all natural, PawTection would be your furkid's best friend.
HOT PAWS NEED PAWTECTION!
Save time, effort and money with PawTection! Without having to struggle with strapping on bulky and expensive dog shoes, PawTection protects your furkid’s paws from hot surfaces all the same. The all-natural organic and vegan balm is applied over the bottom of your dog’s paws to provide protection, the protective layer being made from a blend of herbal-based butters and special plant oils.
Each carefully selected ingredient plays a crucial role in nourishing and guarding your pup’s paws. Your dog would not even know the difference, and yet those paws will feel so pawsome.

PawTection is proven to protect your dog’s paws against:
- Hot surfaces like sidewalks, asphalt, gravel, rocks, sand, concrete, stone, decks, and so forth
- Cold surfaces like ice or snow
- The effects of contact allergens like pollen, grass, or even mold
- Harsh elements like deicers—which can cause serious complications without the proper precautions. If there are deicers on the streets, always clean those paws immediately after contact, and before going inside. This helps prevent deicers from doing as much damage to paws. It also prevents your furkid from licking toxic salts off their paws and getting sick.
SIGNS OF PAW DAMAGE FROM HOT SURFACES
Dog paws should not be rough or dry to the touch. Dry or rough dog paws are the first sign of paw pad damage, often caused by walking on hot surfaces. A healthy paw pad is soft and sponge-like, allowing your furkid to run around and maintain good grip.
Some other signs of paw damage not to be ignored:
- Hot paws - if your dog’s paws are abnormally warm to the touch, they may possibly be irritated
- Your dog is constantly licking or chewing at his paws — a common act for dog’s with damaged, irritated or burned paw pads
- Appearance of discolored paw pads
- Peeling paw pads, or if any other sign of surface damage is seen
DAMAGED PAWS NEED PAW SOOTHER

PawTection not only protects your dog’s paws against hot surfaces. the soothing all natural ingredients help heal pre-existing damages. However, that may not be sufficient.
Paw Soother, PawTection’s sister product, includes additional healing properties to help further restore damaged paws.
Paw Soother is made from carefully selected ingredients intended to restore moisture, flexibility and grip. It is gentle enough for your dog to eat without worry, but still tough enough to combat a wide range of issues including heat damaged paws, hyperkeratosis of the paw, peeling and cracked paws, allergy-impacted paws, and more.
