Caring for your dog in Chattanooga

Tennessee heat, storms, mountain terrain, and valley tips

Hot and humid Tennessee summers

Chattanooga summers are hot and humid, regularly exceeding 90-95°F from June through August. Walk dogs early morning or after sunset during heat advisories and always carry water on Riverwalk and mountain trail outings.

Severe storms and tornado season

Tennessee's spring severe weather season brings significant tornado and severe thunderstorm risk to Hamilton County. Brief your sitter on your shelter location and have a clear plan for your dog during severe weather watches and warnings.

Mountain trail safety

Lookout Mountain and Prentice Cooper trails involve steep terrain, loose rock, and sharp drop-offs. Larger dogs can pull on leashes near cliff edges. Keep dogs leashed and monitored on all elevated terrain, and check paws for cuts after rocky trails.

Tennessee River trail safety

The Tennessee River and its banks along the Riverwalk can be swift and deep. Keep dogs away from river edges, particularly after heavy rain when water levels and currents increase significantly.
