There are some tell-tale clues
Dogs licking their paws can be a warning sign that they are struggling during the heatwave. Pet owners have been urged to keep an eye on their dogs during the coming days as temperatures soar.
Wales Online reports that during heatwaves the sun will warm up tarmac, sand and other surfaces to uncomfortable levels for dogs. We may not notice the change in floor temperature but even short walks can be harmful for pets.According to pet insurance experts at Protectivity, if you see your dog licking their paws, it may be that they are trying to tell you they have burnt themselves on the ground in the sun.
Why do dogs lick their paws in the sun? If you notice your dog is licking their paws, it could be because they have paw pad burns. This can happen from your dog walking on the sun-scorched concrete in hot weather conditions.
