As Spring days grow longer, many of us are
becoming more active with the outdoor activities we enjoy with our dogs. Here
are a few tips to help your pooch ease into the fun of hitting the trails:
1. Start the day early by getting outside and enjoying the cool morning air in
order to prevent your dog from overheating.
2. Protect your pet's nose, ears and other sensitive areas with sunscreen.
3. Monitor your dog's overall condition; be cautious to prevent exhaustion.
4. Let your dog build up his endurance, don't overdo it by attempting an
extended hike early in the season.
5. Make sure that fresh water is readily available.
6. Inspect paws for wear, damage and injury.
