Dog care tips for London
Keep your dog comfortable through London's seasonal changes.
Lake-effect snow
London gets significant lake-effect snowfall. Keep walks manageable and protect paws from salt and ice.
River safety
The Thames River has varying water levels and currents. Supervise dogs near the water, especially during spring runoff.
Summer thunder
London gets frequent summer thunderstorms. Plan outdoor time around weather and have a plan for noise-anxious dogs.
