[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I check the asphalt with my palm before I walk my dogs. The past week or so we have only been doing walks early and late to avoid the midday heat. On the one day we did do a midday walk I took them to a park where they could walk on grass.

I have seen dogs out being walked in the middle of the day on really hot days over the past week and felt concern.[/quote]

I see a dog walker in my neighborhood dragging a huge heavy coated golden retriever around. The dog stops often and she tries to drag him. He needs water and a break in the shade.  She now throws dog treats up the street to get him to move. She doesn’t notice he is overheating. It’s awful to see. I’ve thought about offering water but she’s pretty unfriendly.[/quote]

As an owner of 2 Goldies, this is bad. I do take my dogs out during the day, on grass and in shade with VERY frequent cold water breaks and cooling vests refreshed with ice water. If you know the owner, let them know, this is not ok.  [/quote]
