Caring for your dog in Augusta
Georgia heat, humidity, and CSRA outdoor tips
Intense Georgia heat and humidity
Augusta summers are hot and very humid, regularly reaching 95-100°F with high humidity index. Walk dogs very early morning or after sunset from June through September, and watch carefully for heat exhaustion.
Ticks and heartworm prevention
Georgia has year-round tick and mosquito activity. Keep all dogs on veterinarian-recommended tick and heartworm prevention. Check dogs carefully after any trail walk or time in Phinizy Swamp.
Canal and river trail safety
The Augusta Canal and Savannah River trails are dog-friendly but always keep dogs leashed near the water. River currents and canal water can be swift, particularly after rainfall.
Hydration in Georgia summers
Augusta's combined heat and humidity make dehydration a serious risk for dogs. Carry water on every outing and offer water frequently during summer months.
