Good to know before you go

Vaccinations and tags. Keep proof of rabies vaccination handy; some parks and all kennels ask for it.
Leash laws. Outside designated off-leash areas, assume dogs must be leashed.
Heat. If you are visiting in summer, walk early or late and test pavement with your hand; if it is too hot for you, it is too hot for paws.
Vet backup. Save the number of the nearest clinic below in your phone before you need it.
