Dog care tips for Hobart

Keep your dog comfortable through Hobart's cool climate and wild terrain.

Cold winters

Hobart is Australia's second-coldest capital. Dogs need jackets for winter walks, especially on mountain trails.

Wind chill

Antarctic winds can make Hobart feel much colder than the thermometer suggests. Shelter smaller dogs on exposed trails.

Mountain safety

kunanyi / Mount Wellington weather changes rapidly. Carry water and a jacket, and stick to marked trails with your dog.

Wildlife encounters

Tasmania has unique wildlife. Keep dogs on leash near wombat burrows and platypus habitats to protect native animals.
