Dog care tips for Darwin

Keep your dog safe in Darwin's tropical climate.

Tropical heat

Darwin is hot year-round. Walk only in the early morning or after sunset. Heatstroke is a real risk for dogs.

Crocodile country

Never let dogs swim in waterways unless confirmed croc-free. Stick to swimming pools and designated safe areas.

Cane toads

Cane toads are common in Darwin. They are toxic to dogs. Train your dog to avoid them and check your yard at night.

Wet season

The wet season (November to April) brings storms and flooding. Avoid flooded parks and check for snake activity after rain.
