Local Climate & Pet Care

Winter

20°F to 42°F

Dec – Feb

Kansas City winters bring cold temperatures with ice storms that can make sidewalks and trails treacherous. Short-haired breeds need warm coats, and paw protection helps against road salt. Swope Park and indoor pet-friendly spaces keep dogs active through the season.

Spring

38°F to 72°F

Mar – May

Spring is beautiful but brings tornado season to this Tornado Alley city. A pet emergency plan is essential from March through June. Between storms, Loose Park and the Country Club Plaza area are wonderful for walks as flowers bloom.

Summer

65°F to 92°F

Jun – Aug

Hot, humid summers call for early morning or evening walks and constant hydration. Pet-friendly patios throughout the city let you enjoy KC’s barbecue culture with your dog. Watch for heat exhaustion on humid days when the heat index climbs above 100°F.

Fall

40°F to 75°F
