[quote=Anonymous]Dogs sweat through their paws; booties that aren't explicitly for summer, light and vented, can be dangerous and increase the risk of heat stroke or exhaustion, which is much more dangerous and lethal than a hot paw. If you put the back of your hand on the pavement and it's ok, it's fine to walk. Always good to stay in the shade and privilege grass over pavement, walk early morning/evening, give frequent water breaks, maybe use a cooling vest, etc. but you have to be careful with the bootie thing. And no, taking your dog out without them isn't the equivalent of putting them into a fight ring to be killed. Get real. [/quote]
