Local know-how pays off in Lubbock
Lubbock sits on the semi-arid High Plains, where July highs average around 92 degrees and afternoons routinely push into the upper 90s. Winters are dry and cold, with January averaging near 41 degrees and only about 7 inches of snow a year. Walkers shift to early-morning and evening routes in summer to keep dogs off hot pavement, and the frequent High Plains wind means carrying water on every walk.
When demand peaks
Texas Tech University drives much of the calendar here. Move-in in August, football weekends in fall, and winter and spring breaks all send students and staff traveling, which lifts demand for boarding and drop-in visits. Summer vacation travel adds a second peak for overnight care.
