Hiking can be tough on your pet’s paws. 🦴👣
Ensure their feet stay happy and healthy with these top tips for protecting their paws:
Check Paw Pads Regularly: Inspect for cuts, abrasions, or debris after each hike.
Use Paw Balm: Apply a protective paw balm before hitting the trails to create a barrier against rough surfaces and extreme temperatures.
Consider Booties: Invest in quality dog booties to protect against hot pavement, rocky terrain, and icy conditions.
Avoid Hot Surfaces: Stick to shaded paths or early morning hikes to prevent overheating their paws.
Monitor Trail Conditions: Avoid very hot or extremely rough trails that could harm your pet’s paws.
Gradual Adjustments: If your pet isn’t used to long hikes, start with shorter trips to build their paw strength and resilience.
Keep their paws safe and enjoy your adventures together! 🌄
