If you are planning to go ice fishing with your dog please follow some safety rules so you don't have to cut your trip short to come see us.

- make sure your dog is secured away from you while using the ice auger. Not all dogs know not to approach you or to try and bite at the auger.
-make sure all baited hooks and hooks in general are not accessible to your dog. If you are out of cell phone service, make sure you have pliers and bolt cutters/wire cutters in your pet first aid case. This is in case you need to trim the fish hook prior to seeing us.
-Dogs can suffer from hypothermia so monitor for shivering, looking for warmth, lethargy as these can be sings of hypothermia. Even long coated dogs may require jackets and areas such as their ears and toes can be susceptible to frost bite.
- Do not assume your dog knows where the ice is safe enough to run on. Keep them off thin ice.
-if your dog is off leash, make sure they are properly IDed/microchipped and wearing bright colors to avoid collisions with snow mobiles.
