Before you head out with the dog
- Paperwork. Rabies certificate and tags in the bag -- kennels always ask, parks sometimes do.
- Default to leashed. Unless a sign says off-leash, the leash stays on; that is the rule in most towns.
- Hot pavement. Summer visits mean early or late walks, and the hand test on asphalt before every outing.
- Emergency number. Put the nearest vet clinic in your phone now, not at midnight when you need it.
Local tip: pet shops and vet clinics are the best source of current local knowledge -- which parks are busy when, which patios genuinely welcome dogs, and which trails to avoid in tick season. Ask; people love sharing.
