Dog Days at Desert Botanical Gardens

For the health and safety of guests and dogs, please note the following: 

• Stay hydrated! Water fountains and refill stations are located throughout the Garden.
• Clean up after your dog and deposit bagged waste in trash receptacles.
• Dogs must be on a leash, licensed, and up-to-date on vaccinations.
• Owners must maintain control of their dogs at all times.
• Any dogs deemed to be aggressive to humans or other dogs will be asked to leave the Garden.
• Watch those noses and paws! Be alert to cactus pieces and other debris on the trails and do not allow dogs to wander off trail.
• Be aware of your dog’s limits and monitor your pet for signs of heat stress.

Heat Advisory 

• Owners should pay attention to their dog’s known heat tolerance. Dogs with heavy coats or low heat tolerance may want to visit another day.
• Rangers will be present and alert on the trails to make sure that our dog guests are doing okay.
• Do you have dog booties/socks or a pet stroller? Feel free to bring them to the Garden.
