Las Vegas dogs of all sizes can beat the heat and enjoy a fun-filled morning of splashing, canon balls, and dog-paddling at the Desert Breeze Aquatic Facility during the 17th Annual “Dog Daze of Summer” event. Every dog has its day and that day is Saturday, Sept. 10.

The hot concrete or asphalt can burn your pets’ paws. Some signs of burned paws include darker-than-usual paw pads, missing parts of the footpad, blisters or if your dog is limping or refusing to walk. If your dog also licks and chews on its paws then this can be a sign of burned pads, too.
