"What precaution should I take for my dog during the summer months?"
All animals need extra care during extreme temperature months. Make sure your pet has fresh
water, shade, shelter and protection from ticks, fleas and flies. Remember pets can suffer from
heat stroke or exhaustion.
"What precaution should I take for my dog during the winter months?"
All animals need extra care during extreme temperature months. Make sure your pet has a solid four sided structure to get out of the wind and cold. Make sure you point the house away from the direction that bad weather normally comes from. For us in north Alabama that would be pointing the house away from the west. I also like to give my pet a little more food during cold months. Keep a close eye on your pet's health and keep him healthy and happy. Remember while you are toasty inside ole Spot is braving the cold. Fresh water is also important during the winter. Many owners fail to replace frozen water daily. Exercise is still a must during all types of weather.
"I am new to the city of Florence and would like to know what the leash law encompasses."
The leash law in Florence is very similar to the one other cities have in effect. Basically
your dog must be confined at all times. You can keep your dog in a fenced in area, or on an eight
foot tangle-free chain. We recommend you use a runner instead of a chain. Yes, your pet can go
walking with you as long as you have him on a leash and under your control.
