Caring for your dog in Albuquerque

High desert sun, altitude, and New Mexico tips

High desert heat

ABQ summers are hot and dry. Walk during cooler hours and always carry water. The sun is more intense at 5,000+ feet.

Altitude and hydration

Albuquerque sits at 5,312 feet. Dogs dehydrate faster at altitude. Offer water frequently.

Rattlesnake awareness

The foothills and Bosque have rattlesnakes in warm months. Stay on trails and keep dogs close.

Goathead thorns

Puncturevine is common in ABQ. Check paws after walks and avoid weedy, sandy areas.
