Walking Safety Tips

Use a secure collar or harness that fits properly and won’t slip off.

Check the leash for wear/tear before every walk.

Avoid hot pavement—if it’s too hot for your hand, it’s too hot for their paws.

Bring water for longer walks or warm weather.

Stay aware of surroundings (cars, bikes, wildlife, loose dogs).

Keep a safe distance from unknown dogs to avoid unpredictable reactions.

Walk on the shaded side when possible in high heat.

Use reflective gear during early morning or evening walks.

Carry poop bags and clean up every time.

Watch for signs of overheating—excessive panting, slowing down, or drooling.

Avoid distractions like phones—focus on the dog.

Always inform owners about anything unusual during the walk.
