Caring for your dog in Seattle

Rain gear, indoor enrichment, and Pacific NW essentials

Rainy-day routines

Seattle averages 150+ rainy days per year. Invest in a quality dog raincoat, dry paws thoroughly after walks, and build indoor enrichment routines for days when the rain is relentless.

Muddy trail prep

Seattle trails get muddy fast. Keep towels by the door, trim paw fur to reduce mud buildup, and rinse paws after park visits to prevent irritation between toes.

Short winter daylight

Seattle winters bring very short days. Walk with reflective gear and LED collars during dark mornings and early evenings to stay visible on neighborhood streets.

Seasonal allergies

Pacific Northwest pollen seasons can trigger dog allergies. Watch for excessive scratching, ear rubbing, or paw licking, and consult your vet if symptoms persist.
