New England is a beautiful place for a walk with your pet, particularly during the spring and fall when the leaves on the trees around you are budding or falling. Check the weather before you go out as Massachusetts weather changes drastically. Winters bring heavy snow and freezing temperatures not ideal for a walk while summers bring sweltering days when the sidewalks might be too hot for puppy paws.
