If you need to walk your dog in the evening or after dark, please make sure you take a few extra precautions when preparing for your walk and while on your walk to ensure you and your canine are safe. First, make sure you and your dog have on reflective gear so that oncoming traffic including pedestrians, motorists, cyclists, etc. will know where you are. Have your dog wear a reflective collar or harness and use a reflective leash. You may also want to consider carrying a flash light to light your path and to shine forward to indicate your presence to motorists, etc. Walking at night can be a lot cooler than the day time so remember to wear warm clothing if necessary and apply insect repellent as needed. Do not apply insect repellent to your dog. For more tips, call your pet clinic Goodyear, AZ.
