Follow The 7-Second Rule When Walking Your Dog In The Heat

Follow The 7-Second Rule When Walking Your Dog In The Heat:
With America engulfed in a heatwave, pet experts and meteorologists are reminding pet owners to follow the 7-Second Rule when walking their dogs. WCNC Chief Meteorologist Brad Panovich posted; “With the building heat wave, watch out for your pets, even walking them. Use the 7-second rule. If you can’t hold your hand against the hot surface, then your pets should not be on it. They can burn their paws.” Asphalt and concrete are typically 20 to 35° warmer than the air temperature.
