Local Climate & Pet Care

Winter

20°F to 38°F

Dec – Feb

Cold, overcast skies and regular snowfall are the norm in Pittsburgh winters. Road salt is heavily used on the hilly streets, so rinse your pet’s paws after every walk. Short-haired breeds need insulated coats, and the frequent cloud cover means reflective gear is useful even during daytime walks.

Spring

35°F to 65°F

Mar – May

Rainy and gradually warming conditions bring the city back to life. Frick Park trails can be muddy through April, so plan for messy paws. As temperatures stabilize in the 60s, the riverfront trails become excellent for longer walks and outdoor training sessions.

Summer

60°F to 84°F

Jun – Aug

Warm and humid with frequent rain showers throughout the summer. The three rivers and hillside parks provide some relief, but schedule intensive activity for morning hours. Thunderstorms are common, so have indoor enrichment activities ready for your pet on stormy days.
