Is it too hot to walk your dog? Check the temperature and the pavement

Dogs overheat much faster than we do, and a mild day can be risky on a walk.

Use the quick quiz to turn the temperature, your dog's risk factors, the time of day and the 7-second pavement test into a plan: a normal walk, a short one, a quick toilet break, or skip it. Includes the signs of heatstroke and what to do. Ask a vet if you are worried.
