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.
