Caring for your dog in Brownsville
Subtropical heat, hurricanes, ticks, and South Texas tips
Year-round subtropical heat
Brownsville has one of the hottest climates in the United States , temperatures stay above 90°F from April through October with very high humidity. Walk dogs only in the early morning or after sunset year-round and always carry water. Pavement heat is a year-round concern in South Texas.
Hurricane season awareness
Brownsville's Gulf Coast position puts it in direct hurricane risk. The Atlantic hurricane season runs June through November. Have an evacuation plan for your dog, keep a carrier and emergency supplies readily available, and brief your sitter on hurricane preparedness protocols.
Year-round ticks and heartworm
South Texas's warm subtropical climate supports year-round tick, flea, and mosquito populations. Heartworm disease is a major risk in the Rio Grande Valley. Keep dogs on year-round tick and heartworm prevention and check carefully after any trail or resaca walk.
Resaca and river water safety
The resacas and the Rio Grande contain bacteria, agricultural runoff, and can have swift currents. Prevent dogs from drinking resaca or river water and keep them leashed near waterway edges. Boca Chica rip currents are a risk for strong swimming dogs.
