Caring for your dog in Irvine

SoCal weather, coyote awareness, and OC tips

Mild but warm summers

Irvine's Mediterranean climate is pleasant but inland areas get hot. Walk during cooler hours in summer.

Coyote awareness

Irvine's open spaces have coyotes. Keep dogs leashed at dusk and dawn, and never leave small dogs unattended.

Foxtails in summer

Foxtail grass seeds can embed in ears, nose, and paws. Check your dog after walks through dry grass.

Irvine's planned parks

Irvine has one of the best park systems in the US with well-maintained trails and dog parks.
