Dog care tips for Sydney

Keep your dog happy through Sydney's warm summers and mild winters.

Summer heat

Sydney summers can exceed 40 degrees. Walk early morning or after sunset, stick to shaded paths, and always carry water.

Beach safety

Sydney has strong rip currents. Only let your dog swim at patrolled dog beaches and avoid ocean swims after storms.

Council rules vary

Each Sydney council has different off-leash times and areas. Check your local council rules before visiting a new park.

Tick prevention

Paralysis ticks are common in Sydney bushland. Use tick prevention year-round and check your dog after every bush walk.
