Seasonal Dog Tips for Rome

Rome's climate affects dog care throughout the year. **Summer (June-September):** Very hot! Walk early morning and late evening only. Pavements can burn paws. Always carry water. Cobblestones absorb heat. **Autumn (October-November):** Ideal weather. Watch for falling pine cones (large and heavy). Some rain. **Winter (December-February):** Mild but damp. Occasional cold snaps. Short-haired dogs may need coats on cold days. **Spring (March-May):** Perfect walking weather. Allergies can affect dogs too. Processionary caterpillars in some parks are dangerous.
