We just avoid asphalt like the plague. My dog can also handle higher temps if he's got shade and plenty of water.

Our favorite park has some wooded trails that are 1 mile loops. There's a couple of different ways you can go. But anyway...most of the trails are shaded, and there's also a pond on one of the loops. As long as Henry stays wet and off hot concrete, he can handle being outside when it's in the 90s. If it's pushing 95+, we don't usually go outside until evening.

For regular walks, I usually go around 10pm, and try to keep him on the grass to save his feet. Honestly, that's all I worry about. I know the signs of heat stroke, to keep him hydrated, and I know when it's too hot to go out, but I worry about how his feet must be feeling. Sounds silly, but it's true.
