Keep reading for important beach safety tips and other considerations for enjoying the sand and surf this summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Know Before You Go<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Finding a dog-friendly beach before beginning your adventure is a critical first step. Websites like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bringfido.com\/attraction\/beaches\/state\/virginia\/\">BringFido<\/a> can help with your initial search, but it\u2019s important to confirm that the information you find is accurate. Some beaches restrict dogs during specific times or don\u2019t allow dogs due to wildlife concerns or dangerous tides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These rules apply to all beaches:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Follow all posted rules and regulations.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keep dogs leashed where required.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>All dogs need a collar with up-to-date tags.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Clean up after your dog.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your dog should know basic commands like \u201ccome\u201d and \u201cstay.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Gear Up With a Clean Bill of Health<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If it\u2019s been a while since your dog\u2019s last physical examination, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.xroadsanimalhospital.com\/blog\/how-to-keep-your-pet-healthy\/\">a visit to the vet<\/a> is in order. We will make sure your dog is current on vaccines and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.xroadsanimalhospital.com\/blog\/parasite-prevention-in-virginia-the-importance-of-year-round-medication\/\">parasite control,<\/a> so the only thing your dog brings home from the beach is a bit of sand between the toes! We can also microchip your dog if you haven\u2019t done so already to help identify your dog if he or she should stray.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to Pack for the Beach<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to pack the beach bag and car with these canine beach safety essentials:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A beach tent or umbrella<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sunscreen made just for pets<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Drinking water and portable bowl<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>An absorbent towel for your dog<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A regular leash, long lead, and harness<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Canine Beach Safety Tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The heat, sand, and saltwater pose potential dangers for dogs. Be mindful of the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Sand can get extremely hot, and shells and rocks can make for an uncomfortable walk. Protect your pet\u2019s paws with booties.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dehydration and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.xroadsanimalhospital.com\/blog\/emergency-tips-to-save-your-pets-life\/\">heatstroke<\/a> are concerns since dogs don\u2019t sweat. Make sure your dog takes frequent breaks under the beach umbrella and drinks plenty of water.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Salt water is extremely toxic. Play fetch on the beach rather than in the water to prevent your pet from drinking salt water.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sand fleas are unaffected by regular parasite control, so steer clear of rainy days, avoid visiting the beach during dusk and dawn, and use pet-safe bug spray.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Don\u2019t let your dog eat dead fish, clams, crabs, and anything else that washes ashore.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Give your dog a rinse with fresh water before you head home, and then treat your dog to a warm bath and a firm scrubbing to remove salt, sand, and any fleas that have hitched a ride.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Still have questions about canine beach safety?
