Rattlesnake season is here, Orange County 🐍

As a vet who hikes these trails with Harold, I need you to know this:
Rattlesnakes are active RIGHT NOW.
Warm weather and longer days bring them out. And if you hike anywhere in Laguna Niguel, Dana Point, or surrounding areas , you're in their habitat.

Most bites happen on the nose or front feet.
Dogs sniff in bushes. They step near rocks. They don't see the snake until it strikes.

Baby rattlesnakes are the MOST dangerous.
They release more venom than adults. And that venom starts breaking down cells immediately.
This is a time-sensitive emergency.

If your dog is bitten, get to a vet immediately.

Don't wait. Don't "see how they do." Every minute matters.

Prevention tips:
✓ Keep dogs on leash on trails
✓ Avoid tall grass and rocky areas
✓ Don't let them sniff in bushes
✓ Consider rattlesnake avoidance training
✓ Know where your nearest emergency vet is
I hike with Harold. I know these trails. And I'm vigilant. You should be too.

Stay safe out there 💚🐾
