Dunedin is a town built for active dogs: morning walks along the causeway, shaded trails in Hammock Park, long afternoons at Happy Tails Dog Park, and weekend trips to Honeymoon Island. Many of the dogs we see at DAMC — Aussies, Border Collies, Labs, Huskies, Goldendoodles, Shepherds, and athletic mixed breeds — live an energetic, outdoors-first lifestyle.

But the same things that make Dunedin a paradise for dogs also create specific health challenges that don’t show up as often in cooler, drier parts of the country. Heat, humidity, allergens, saltwater, and hard play can place steady strain on even the healthiest dogs.

This article explores how Pinellas County’s environment affects high-energy dogs and what DAMC looks for during wellness care to help keep them safe year-round.
