Dog Parks & Dog Services in Nevada

Nevada's desert climate means bright sun and serious summer heat around Las Vegas and Henderson, with cooler mountain air near Reno and Lake Tahoe. Walk at dawn or dusk in summer, protect paws from hot pavement, and always carry water.

Tips for dog owners in Nevada

• Walk early or late: if pavement is too hot for the back of your hand after 7 seconds, it's too hot for paws.
• Carry water on every outing and know the signs of heat stress — heavy panting, drooling and wobbliness.
• Pack water, a collapsible bowl and a basic dog first aid kit on longer outings.
