Practical notes

Why wait during a thunderstorm?

Lightning, strong gusts, falling branches and sudden noise can make a normal walk unsafe.

A practical response

  • Postpone the normal walk when lightning or a thunderstorm is active.
  • If your dog must go out, keep it very brief and stay close to shelter.
  • Use a secure lead and avoid exposed routes and trees in strong wind.

Common questions

Should I walk my dog while thunder is active?

A normal walk is better postponed. If your dog urgently needs to go out, keep it very brief and reassess the local conditions.

What if my dog is not afraid of thunder?

Fear is only one factor. Lightning, gusts and falling objects can still create an outdoor safety risk.
