Hiking is a great way to get some fresh air, exercise and spend time with your dog. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced hiker, these five tips will show you how to hike with your dog and help you both have a great time on the trail.
Before you go on your first hike with your dog, check the weather prediction to see if it is safe to take your dog hiking. Choose a shady route during the hot season and stay inside when the temperature dips too low. Wear waterproof clothes and avoid river crossings when you see rain in the forecast.
Consider your dog's condition when choosing a route as it determines how far you can take your dog hiking in a day. Avoid choosing trails that are too long or challenging to ensure your dog stays happy and healthy on the trail. If your dog is overweight or has any health issues, you should select a path that will allow frequent stops to rest and stretch. Remember that even though you may be used to walking long distances, your dog might not be!
Accidents can happen even if you are just out for a quick hike and you know your dog is in good shape. Your dog could get cut on a tree branch or step on a sharp rock. First aid kits are available online and at most pet stores. You can even make your own — make sure to include bandages, gauze, tweezers and scissors, antibacterial ointment and other items that might be useful in an emergency. Store the kit in an easily accessible place to grab it when needed.
This hiking and backpacking philosophy encourages hikers to pack out all their trash and minimize their environmental impact. To help you stay on track with this goal, we recommend bringing doggie bags to dispose of pet waste responsibly.
