Thinking of taking your dog for a hike this weekend? You might be putting your pet’s life at risk. Hiking during the heat of day can be dangerous as dogs dehydrate more quickly than we do. A dog will follow you and may not let you know he is suffering until it’s too late.

The best choice during warmer weather is to leave your dog at home, but here are some critical points to consider:

Before you go. Are you both well hydrated prior to leaving home? Is your dog in good physical health and properly conditioned for a hike? Are your dog’s pads tough enough for a hot, rocky trail?

Bag check. You should have enough water for both of you to stay hydrated, plus extra to use for soaking/cooling if either of you get over-heated. A fully charged cellphone is critical in case of an emergency.

First step. Pay attention to the pavement in the parking lot. Can you keep your hand on it for 7 seconds? If not, it’s too hot for your dog.

Poway may not be a beach town, but we still have a role in keeping the ocean healthy by preventing stormwater pollution. Today is World Ocean Day, a good time to be mindful that storm drains are designed to carry rainwater away from developed areas and prevent flooding. They are NOT connected to sanitary sewer systems or treatment plants.

Any time you over-water your yard, the runoff is ripe for collecting pollutants like dirt, bacteria and fertilizer. For a list of best practices to prevent ocean pollution right here in Poway, see our stormwater “best practices” resource at poway.org/stormwater-protection.
