He’s Back! Dog-Loving News Anchor Spreads The Word On Preventing Common Summer Injuries

| July 20, 2016

You may remember Kyle Clark, the Denver-based news anchor who used his position in the media to publicly address the owner of a dog who was carelessly left in a hot car.

Along with co-anchor Noll Brennan, this pooch-loving public figure has another message to share: watch out for your dog’s paws in the heat of summer!

Although many dog owners know the dangers of bare paws on hot pavement, local veterinarian Dr. Kevin Fitzgerald says that year after year, he sees a huge rise in paw-related injuries during the warmer months.

“We probably see them, certainly every weekend, but probably every other day,” he told Denver’s KARE 11.

“The problem with healing on pads of the feet is [a dog is} walking on it all the time. The enemy of healing is motion,” he said in the story.

Check out this news clip and you may prevent a vet visit with your dog this summer!

The good news is, avoiding this type of injury is simple as long as we’re aware of the dangers and proactive about keeping our pets safe. As we dog lovers know, knowledge is power!
