1

Assess dog's fitness

Consider your dog's breed, age, and health before hiking, and watch for signs of exhaustion. 

2

Choose pet-safe trails

Be mindful of ground temperature and choose pet-safe trails with minimal elevation. 

3

Pack essential supplies

Ensure you have ample dog food, water, bowls, and a first aid kit for your pet. Keep your dog leashed for safety from hazards and other dogs.  

4

Start slow

Start with neighborhood walks to gauge your dog's energy and gradually increase the difficulty of your hikes together.
