Caring for your dog in Modesto
Valley heat, fog season, and Central California tips
Intense summer heat
Modesto summers regularly exceed 100°F. Walk dogs before 8am or after 8pm and never leave them in cars.
Hot asphalt danger
Pavement temperatures can far exceed air temperature. Check the pavement with your hand before walks.
Tule fog season
Dense winter tule fog reduces visibility. Keep dogs leashed near roads during foggy mornings.
Valley allergy season
Modesto has significant pollen in spring. Monitor dogs for itchy paws and check eyes after outdoor time.
