Local Climate & Pet Care

Winter

25°F to 42°F

Dec – Feb

Cold temperatures and occasional ice storms make sidewalks hazardous for pets. Use paw wax or booties to protect against salt and ice, and keep walks shorter on the coldest days. Ensure outdoor pets have access to warm shelter and unfrozen water at all times.

Spring

40°F to 72°F

Mar – May

The Bluegrass comes alive with mild temperatures ideal for long walks through horse country. Start tick prevention early, as the wooded trails and tall grass harbor ticks from early spring onward. Sudden thunderstorms are common, so keep an eye on the sky during afternoon outings.

Summer

65°F to 88°F

Jun – Aug

Warm and humid conditions require scheduling outdoor exercise for early morning or evening. Keep water accessible at all times and watch for signs of heat exhaustion, especially in brachycephalic breeds. Mosquitoes are prevalent, so maintain heartworm prevention throughout the season.
