Practical Tips
Hydration
Always bring fresh water and a bowl, especially in summer. Dogs dehydrate quickly and saltwater is not potable for them.
Documents
Always carry the health booklet and make sure the microchip is registered. Vaccinations and parasite prevention must be up to date.
Best Times
Early morning or late afternoon are ideal to avoid heat and crowds. The areas are quieter and safer.
Socialization
Do not force meetings. Maintain distance if your dog is shy or aggressive and always observe their body language.
Sun Protection
Always create shaded areas for your dog. Paw pads can get burned on hot asphalt and sand.
Leashes
Always bring a short and a long leash. Even in off-leash areas, you might need them for emergencies.
