Caring for your dog in Tempe

Extreme desert heat, monsoon season, and Sun Devil City tips

Extreme summer heat

Tempe summers exceed 110°F. Walk dogs only before 7am or after 8pm, asphalt can exceed 160°F and will burn paws instantly.

Constant hydration

Desert heat causes rapid dehydration. Always carry water and take breaks in the shade during any outdoor activity.

Monsoon storm safety

Monsoon season (June–September) brings sudden severe thunderstorms. Bring dogs inside at the first sign of dark clouds.

Cactus and desert hazard awareness

Jumping cholla and other desert plants can attach to paws and skin. Check your dog thoroughly after any desert trail walk.
