As the UAE has a desert climate, temperatures especially in summer are extremely high. These high temperatures will increase the risk of heatstroke in our pets. Walks may be possible around sunset, sunrise, and at night, but mindfulness will be needed especially if the humidity is high. During the day, quick toilet breaks in the shade will be possible, but with care. Keep in mind that pavement and sand get extremely hot and can burn paws. If you can’t hold the back of your hand on the floor for 5 seconds because it’s hot, it’s too hot for your pet to walk on. Check our heat stroke guide for pets.
