Common Causes of Summer Paw Pad Injuries in Dogs Many pet parents don’t notice their pet’s injured paw pads until it’s too late. Outdoor surfaces can reach burning temperatures quickly under the summer sun. Your dog’s paws sense warmness too. Paving rocks, concrete, tar-coated blacktop, and sand are the main elements to burn your dog’s feet rapidly.
