Above 27°C: It’s too dangerous to walk your dog.
Stick to shaded areas, keep walks short, and bring water.
The hotter the temperature, the higher the risk to your dog.
Most dogs are comfortable at temperatures between 15-25°C, but this is very much dependent on their age, breed, size, coat length, amount of exercise they're engaging in, health and fitness.
24-26°C: This is risky territory.
Only take your dog out if it’s absolutely necessary, and make it a quick, shady stroll.
Walking on hot surfaces can cause severe burns to the sensitive skin on the pads of their paws.
Top Tip: Take off your shoes and stand on the pavement or patio with bare feet.
Is it too hot for your feet? If so, it is far too hot for your dog on that surface.
During the hot summer months, take your dog out before 8am or after 8pm when temperatures cool down.

Temperatures of 90 degrees Fahrenheit or higher are typically too hot for most dogs to spend time outdoors without overheating. Some dogs will have difficulty tolerating temps in the mid to high 80s. If it's too hot for you, it's too hot for your dog. But dogs can still overheat in temperatures that are comfortable for humans, especially in high humidity. The normal range of temperatures at which dogs and other species can maintain their body temperatures without expending energy to increase heat production or heat loss is called the thermoneutral zone and ranges from 68 degrees F to 86 degrees F for dogs. Outside the TNZ exist the upper and lower critical temperature zones. It's important to monitor outdoor temperature and humidity, but also consider your dog's physical traits, such as size, age, coat type, health, and facial structure.
