Caring for your dog in San Antonio

Texas heat, outdoor safety, and Alamo City essentials

Extreme summer heat

San Antonio summers regularly hit 100F+. Walk dogs before 8 AM or after 8 PM, always carry water, and never leave dogs in vehicles.

Hot pavement burns

Texas pavement can reach dangerous temperatures. Test with your hand: if you can't hold it for 5 seconds, your dog shouldn't walk on it.

Hydration is critical

San Antonio's dry heat dehydrates dogs fast. Keep fresh water available at all times and bring a travel bowl on every walk.

Wildlife awareness

San Antonio borders Hill Country wildlife. Watch for rattlesnakes on trails, fire ants in grass, and keep dogs on-leash in unfamiliar areas.
