Top dog walkers in Pleasant Valley
Wag! Walkers know Pleasant Valley
Cold temperatures do not impede dog walkers in Austin. Snow and icy conditions are rare although occasional freezing rain episodes can make surfaces slick. Summers are hot with dangerous temperatures that can result in heat-related illness if pedestrians or pets overexert themselves, are overexposed, or become dehydrated. Take shelter from extreme temperatures, walk when it is cooler out earlier or later in the day, and make sure you and your dog get lots of water. Thunderstorms are also an issue in the warmer months and electrical storms with high winds and flash floods should also be avoided by residents and their pets.
