[nagdu] Hot Summer in Florida

[Cindy Ray]

Is it really that much hotter in Florida than Kentucky? It is plenty hot and
humid there. Where in Kentucky. Well, anyway, you could get dog booties and
acclimate your dog to using those. I would plan my trips outside in cooler
parts of the day and make them minimal. Not only are the feet a concern, but
general over heating is. I don't know how cool the aunt keeps her place, but
if really cool, you especially want to be careful. Carry water and dampen
the dog's head to keep it cool, but you don't want it to have the sun
reflecting off that. Be watchful of dragging and excessive panting. You just
have to be aware of what is going on with the dog and take good care not to
go out for extended peeriods during the hottest times of the day.

Hi everyone, 
I will be spending 3 weeks in Florida this summer. One jeek will be at the
NFB Convention and the other 2 will be spent with my aunt and cousin. I am
from Kentuckz which is obviously much cooler than Florida. What do you guys
do to prevent your dogs from getting blisters on their paws? 
Thanks in advance, 
Danielle and Willa
