Many dogs eat grass, and it is not always a crisis. But if your dog eats grass obsessively, vomits repeatedly, seems unwell or may have eaten treated grass, it is time to look closer.

Your dog may be ready for a sunny walk. Their paws may not be.

Hot pavement is one of those summer risks that looks harmless until it is not. Asphalt, concrete, sand, metal platforms and artificial grass can heat up quickly, especially in cities, beach areas, parking lots and transport stations. Your dog is walking barefoot on surfaces that you would probably avoid without shoes.
