September may signal the start of fall in many parts of the country, but in Arizona, summer heat often lingers well into the month. While mornings may feel a little more comfortable, sidewalks, asphalt, and other outdoor surfaces can still become dangerously hot for pets. Many dog owners assume the risk of burned paw pads disappears after August, but that’s rarely the case in the desert.

At Curem Veterinary Care in Mesa, AZ, we regularly help pet owners navigate seasonal safety concerns. Understanding the risks associated with hot pavement and dogs can help prevent painful injuries, and keep your pet comfortable during outdoor adventures.
