Hiking With Your Dog in the Wilderness

The biggest recommendation is: keep your dog on a leash. Strange as it may seem, the dangers to your dog come from wildlife. And if he isn't on a leash, really, really bad things will happen. Large animals such as bear, deer, elk, moose or cougars are the ones people are often aware of but your dog can suffer serious injury or discomfort if it encounters smaller creatures like a skunk, porcupine, weasel or coyote.

Taking Walks in Winter Weather

Just like people, pets' cold tolerance can vary from pet to pet based on their coat, body fat stores, activity level, and health. Be aware of your pet's tolerance for cold weather, and adjust accordingly. You will probably need to shorten your dog's walks in very cold weather to protect you both from weather-associated health risks.
