Having just spoke to a UK guide dog trainer, the policy is that you don’t take
your dog out in adverse weather that’s when it is hot or cold I.E when the
pavements have been gritted as this can get inbetween toes on paws and hot
weather can cause blisters. Common sence I think.

I don't know about in the UK, but the general rule in Australia is that if it
is over 35-37 Degrees[C], you don't take the dog, and rather go back to the
good ol' cane.

Hello list,
I have a number of dog lovers in my list of Facebook friends and there has
been a lot of comment about being careful not to make dogs walk on tarmac
footpaths which may be melting in the hot weather.
I'm not a guide dog user myself but I'm curious about how those of you with
dogs avoid this problem. Clearly you still need to get out and about but can't
easily tell whether patches of tarmac are melted and presenting a hazard to the
dog's feet.
