My dog walks on hot ground. Can it burn their paws? What should I do?

Question

My dogs lives in our yard (my mom's allergic and my parents won't allow them in the house unless it's absolutely necessary), and most of the yard has stone floor, which is hot in that time of the year. Is that dangerous for the dogs? It doesn't seem to bother them but I wanted to make sure, because it hurts when I walk on the floor with no shoes. They are a Border Collie, a Pitbull and a German Shepherd. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Female | 12 years and 1 month old | 46 lbs

Hi. Yes, if it it hurts your feet, it will hurt them. They need a different situation during the heat then and also need some place soft to rest the feet when they want also. Please let them know. It can burn their feet and can lead to.heat exhaustion
