Caring for your dog in Huntington Beach

Southern California beach safety, saltwater care, and coastal tips

Ocean swimming safety

Supervise dogs in the surf. Ocean currents can be powerful—stay near the shore and help your dog exit waves safely.

Saltwater and sand care

Rinse your dog after every beach visit to remove salt and sand from the coat and paws. Prevents skin irritation.

Summer beach heat

HB sand gets extremely hot in summer. Walk on wet sand near the water and time beach visits for morning or evening.

Foxtail season awareness

Foxtail grass (dried in summer and fall) causes serious injury to dogs. Check ears, paws, and coat thoroughly after grass areas.
