Desert Dog: Surviving a Coachella Valley Summer With Your Best Friend

Press the back of your hand to the pavement and count to seven. If you have to pull away, your dog cannot walk on it.

Desert Dog is the 30 page local guide nobody hands you when you move here.

What's inside:

• The pavement rule and your two safe walk windows
• Heatstroke: the stages, the first five minutes, and when to go anyway
• Rattlesnakes, coyotes, foxtails, and cholla
• Valley fever and the symptom owners miss
• Where to go when it is 118: dog parks, cool errands, patios, and Idyllwild
• Emergency clinics and numbers, with a page to fill in your own
• Quick tools: Walk or No Walk, Is My Dog Overheating, Minimum Viable Dog Day
• A printable summer checklist for the fridge

Launch price through Sunday, October 11. Regular price $19.
