Hope everyone had a safe Memorial Day Weekend!

If you feel inclined to bring Fido with you for a day of fun in the sun, be mindful of the rules and regulations relating to pets as well.

During the summer, however, from the Friday before Memorial Day through Labor Day weekend, dogs are not allowed on the beach in the Resort Area (between 1st and 42nd streets). They are allowed on the Boardwalk from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. and they must be on a leash. Owners are also responsible for picking up their pet’s waste. Dogs are permitted on the beach north of 42nd Street and south of Rudee Loop (Croatan and Sandbridge) before 10 a.m. and after 6 p.m. only. Service animals are exempt from these prohibitions under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

Here are some helpful tips for our gardeners out there! 🪴🌱

Use caution with compost. Compost is often used to enrich soil in flower and garden beds. Be mindful of what you put in your compost. Unintentional toxicities can be present when adding items like garlic, onion, or grape waste products. In some compost piles, certain kinds of mold (called ‘tremorgenic mycotoxins’) can be present. If pets ingest this mycotoxin, they can be at risk for neurological signs such as tremors and seizures. It’s best to keep any compost area enclosed and monitor pets carefully while outside. Once the compost is well-rotted, has finished its breakdown cycle, and is being added to your garden, it's considered "safe" for your pets to be around.
