Two questions: Any ideas about concrete? You know, the stuff sidewalks are
made of.  do not think they get as hot, but they are still a concern. Second
question is what to do for dog if they do get burned pads? Does anybody have
any good treatments that help and are not immediately licked off? Tomorrow I
am spending day in Phoenix. It should get to 106 degrees and I appreciate
the reminder to take her shoes, but with temps like that I anticipate that
even with shoes covering the pads, they will get hot. I generally prefer
herbal treatments for her rather than chemical, but will take suggestions.
