Local Climate & Pet Care

Winter

20°F to 38°F

Dec – Feb

Chicago winters are brutal with lake-effect snow, bitter wind chills, and icy sidewalks. Small and short-haired breeds need insulated coats and booties. Rinse paws after every walk to remove road salt and de-icing chemicals that can cause irritation.

Spring

32°F to 72°F

Mar – May

Spring in Chicago can swing from freezing to warm within days, so layer up for morning walks. As snow melts, muddy conditions are common in parks along the lakefront. This is a great time to start exploring the 26-mile Lakefront Trail before summer crowds arrive.

Summer

63°F to 85°F

Jun – Aug

Warm, humid summers are perfect for lakefront walks and visits to Montrose Dog Beach. Carry water and take breaks in the shade during midday heat. Summer thunderstorms can pop up quickly, so keep an eye on the sky during outdoor adventures.
