A day at the beach can be a great way to enjoy time with your pet. But heading to the beach with your dog without preparing first may make things more difficult than enjoyable. Before taking a beach trip with your dog, consider these five simple tips for taking your dog to the beach.

Look For Dog Friendly Beaches 

The first thing to think about if you are taking your dog to the beach is to make sure that the beach you are heading to is dog friendly. There are a lot of dog friendly beaches in Southwest Florida but there are also lots of local beaches that do not allow dogs at all. It’s always best to check online first as most beaches, even if they are dog friendly, may have some restrictions.

Most beaches will require your pooch to be on a leash.  And many local Southwest Florida beaches require your dog to be on a leash that is no longer than 6 feet, that means that you should not bring your retractable leash to the beach.
