Rialto sits between Fontana and San Bernardino, along I-10 to the south and Route 210 to the north. Animal Kingdom’s Colton shop is a short drive away; call or text 951-367-5200, or book online.
North Rialto runs up toward the Lytle Creek wash, with open, sandy, brushy ground where foxtails and burrs thrive. The rest of the city is neighborhoods, yards and busy streets.
Rialto also catches its share of Santa Ana wind coming out of the Cajon Pass, so dusty coats and dry skin are a fall and winter regular.

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.
