If you’re getting bored with your daily walks, why not change things up a bit and take Fido to a dog park? In this article, a local Savannah, GA vet from Westside Animal Hospital lists some of the nearby parks you can explore with your furry buddy.

Dog Park Etiquette

Before bringing Fido to a park, make sure that he is current on all of his vaccinations, as well as his parasite control products. You’ll also want to take a few moments to observe the dogs that are already on site. If you see rough play, canine bullying, or intact pooches, you may want to come back another day. We also recommend you avoid giving your canine buddy toys or treats while in the presence of other dogs. This could lead to quite a ruckus among Fido and his buddies! Also, remember to always bring water for your dog, and clean up after him before you leave. Last but not least, always abide by park rules and regulations. Do you have questions about your dog’s health or care? Does Fido need shots or an examination? We can help! Contact Westside Animal Hospital, your Savannah, GA veterinary clinic.
