Caring for your dog in Atlanta

Southern heat, pollen seasons, and ATL essentials

Atlanta summer heat

Atlanta summers are hot and humid. Schedule walks for early morning or evening, always carry water, and watch for signs of heat exhaustion in short-nosed breeds.

Pollen season is intense

Atlanta is notorious for spring pollen. If your dog shows signs of allergies like scratching, watery eyes, or sneezing, consult your vet and wipe paws after walks.

Tick prevention year-round

Georgia's warm climate means ticks are active most of the year. Keep your dog on year-round flea and tick prevention and check after park and trail visits.

Socializing on the BeltLine

The Atlanta BeltLine is a magnet for dog walkers. Socialize your dog early so they can enjoy the busy trail alongside other pups and pedestrians without stress.
