Redlands is right between Animal Kingdom’s two shops: Yucaipa is just up the hill to the east, and Colton is a short drive west on I-10. Pick whichever is easier on your commute.
It is a walking town. The University of Redlands, the historic downtown, Prospect Park and Sylvan Park all get plenty of dog traffic, and the old orange-grove neighborhoods have big, leafy yards.
To the south, San Timoteo Canyon and the hills above town add dry grass and trail dust to the mix, so Redlands dogs see both the groomed lawn and the foxtail.

Trimming around the feet and ears before the grass dries out in late spring.

When is foxtail season around Redlands?
Foxtails dry out and drop from late spring through summer. Keep dogs out of tall dry grass and check paws, ears and noses after walks. Call your vet for anything embedded.
Bleeding nail, a hot spot, limping, a cut, or a dog that seems unwell? Call your veterinarian. Heavy panting, collapse or vomiting on a hot day can be heatstroke: move your dog to shade, wet it with cool (not ice-cold) water and get to a vet right away.
