🐾 How to Handle Aggressive Dogs at the Dog Park – Real Advice from Dog Owners
Visiting the dog park can be a joyful activity for both you and your furry friend—but aggressive encounters can quickly […]
Lake Township Dog Park offers a dedicated space for dogs and pet owners to enjoy the outdoors near Houghton Lake, MI. Just a short drive from the heart of Houghton Lake, this dog park provides a welcoming area for your furry friend to stretch their legs and socialize with other dogs amidst the natural beauty of northern Michigan. While the park is currently closed to allow for grass growth and to dry out after the snow melts, it is generally a favorite spot among locals seeking a dog-friendly outing.
However, it’s important for dog owners to exercise caution due to recent reports of a severe tick problem in the area. Visitors are warned that ticks are prevalent in the grass, so be sure to use tick prevention methods for your pets and check thoroughly after visits. Always stay updated on park conditions before planning a trip, and take all necessary precautions for you and your dog’s safety and comfort.
Please be very careful if you have a dog. They do not spray the grounds of the park and it is infected with ticks. Our dog is treated and we even have a topical spray that we use on him and after ten minutes we were covered with over 250+ ticks. It took over an hour to clean him off and ourselves even throwing away the socks we had on because of how bad the ticks are. I say this as a dog owner that the park is very tempting to let your best friend run around inn, but it’s not worth it for the stress and headache you’ll deal with after.
