Ground Surface Temperature Indicator.
One of Pet Pawtal’s most popular features is the Ground Surface Temperature Indicator. Did you know it can take just one minute on a 22-degree Celsius day for your dog’s paw pads to sustain burns if the other environmental factors(humidity/wind conditions) are at their optimum?
The Ground Surface Temperature Indicator on the Pet Pawtal app gives you the best available advice on safe walking conditions by calculating approximate concrete surface temperature based on live meteorological data, factoring in UV radiation, wind conditions and humidity.
Reading a Dog's Body Language
Learning to read your dog’s body language is a must for guardians. Your dog uses their eyes, ears, mouth, tail and body to communicate how they are feeling. They could be trying to express fear, discomfort, anxiousness, happiness or anger. Your ability to interpret your dog’s body language could make the difference between alleviating an uncomfortable situation for them or exacerbating it. This is why it is important to understand what your dog is trying to tell you. It is surprising how often the picture above is misinterpreted.
Enrichment
Providing your dog with daily exercise is very important, as research is showing how the physical and the mental well-being of our companion animals are interconnected. However, the form of enrichment has to be enjoyed by your dog, if the dog does not enjoy the activity it’s not enrichment is it? Providing them with the right type of enrichment for their stage in life is paramount for their physical, social and mental well-being and allowing your dog to stop and smell is vital.
