Salt Lake City weather facts every pet owner should know
- Salt Lake City averages 51.9 inches of snow a year, with 12.7 inches in January, so mountain-town paw care (balm, booties, salt rinses) applies right downtown.
- July is genuinely hot at an average high of 94.0F, dangerous territory for dog walks, though low desert humidity keeps early mornings comfortable.
- The city swings from average January lows of 24.2F to July highs of 94.0F, a roughly 70 degree seasonal spread, so double-coated breeds blow their coats dramatically each spring.
- Sitting above 4,200 feet against the Wasatch Range, Salt Lake City gets stronger high-altitude sun, so light-coated and pink-nosed dogs can sunburn on summer hikes.
