September signals the start of the cooler autumn season for a lot of states in the U.S., but Texas isn’t one of them. Summer is usually still in full swing in San Antonio during September, which means pet parents must continue to stay vigilant about summer heat safety. 

Spring, summer, and early fall are prime times for outdoor adventures in Texas, but they also mark rattlesnake season throughout the Hill Country. Whether you’re hiking local trails, exploring rural properties, or spending time in your own backyard, it’s important to be aware of the risks rattlesnakes can pose to pets. At Family Pet Hospital of Stone Oak in San Antonio, we want pet owners to understand how to reduce the risk of snake encounters and what to do if a bite occurs.
