When the sun is shining, surfaces like pavement, sand, and wooden decks absorb and retain heat. These surfaces can quickly become dangerously hot, often much hotter than the air temperature. Bare feet (especially children’s), pet paws, and even certain materials (like rubber soles or stroller wheels) are at risk of burns, blisters, and discomfort.
Quick Safety Tips:
🔥Walk dogs early morning or after sundown.
🔥Use paw wax, booties, or carry them across hot surfaces.
🔥Have kids wear sandals or water shoes even at the beach.
🔥Check playground equipment before use—slides and rubber turf can burn.
