Walking your dog is one of the great joys of pet ownership. However, you also know that it can be a bit difficult to keep your pet safe in certain areas or during certain times of the day if you aren’t prepared for them.

To make sure your pet is always as safe as he can be, plan ahead. If you plan on walking in the evening, scout out the area in daylight and determine what you will need to bring along to remain well seen by passing drivers and cyclists. Consider how long the walk will be, and bring along any items your pet may need during this time. If it is an intense walk, a longer outing, or simply a very warm day, your pet will likely need additional water to keep hydrated. Consider other hazards, like hot asphalt on your pet’s paws, when evaluating a route as well. For additional information, please contact your veterinarian Frisco TX.
