Winter beach combing with the little. It’s not soft sand and sea shells around here. It’s snow, slushy tide pools and icebergs! Just another surreal aspect of the Alaskan landscape that is fascinating to explore.
🐾
We only stayed for a short while and I carried her for most of it so her little feet didn’t get too cold or cut on any sharp ice. Both she and Finn absolutely REFUSE to wear boots so I have to make sure their little toes stay safe. I use Musher’s Secret on their little paw pads and that helps quite a bit!
🐾
I carry them a lot of places during the winter when the ground is too cold for their feet but, I don’t mind. I love watching them discover new places, experience new smells and sounds.
🥰
Do you have little adventurers?
Have you ever tried Musher’s Secret?

Impatiently waiting for spring…

A sunrise hike today.
🐾
I feel a loss for words when I try to describe how beautiful this place is. Nothing I could say would ever do it justice so, I’ll just keep sharing glimpses of this little life of mine surrounded by dogs and the immeasurable beauty of nature. I’m beyond grateful.

Alaska ❤️
These pups are just a few of the many that I had the pleasure of meeting while I was out there.
•
These dogs and their people take “adventuring” to the next level but honestly, it’s just a regular day in Alaska for them and I’m in love with it. Whether it’s out in a boat, a kayak, a plane, trekking through the woods, camping, encountering moose, bears, sea life… they do it all here. Sometimes all of that in one day 🤣
•
Alaska is a magical place. Can’t wait to go back and bring my 🐾kids with me!

Have you and your pup ventured to Alaska? I’d love to hear about it!

Its going to be a busy weekend of Independence Day celebrations full of all sorts of things that can be overwhelming and even dangerous for our dogs and cats. Plan ahead to keep them safe.
1️⃣ Create a Safe Retreat: Set up a quiet and comfortable space inside your home where they can retreat to during the celebrations. Use familiar bedding and toys to make them feel secure.

2️⃣ Shelters all over the country will be filled with lost pets due to fireworks. Keep them indoors during firework displays, and draw the curtains to minimize noise and visual disturbances.

3️⃣ Make sure they wear collars with updated ID tags. A microchip with accurate contact information can be a lifesaver. Get them a smart tag like .co or a gps collar.

4️⃣ As you enjoy cookouts, and parties, avoid feeding your pets chocolate, grapes, onions, and any other potentially toxic foods. While corn isn’t toxic, a corn cob can easily become a foreign body that needs surgical removal.

5️⃣ July can be sweltering! Check the pavement temperature with your hand before taking your dog for a walk. If it's too hot for your hand, it's too hot for their paws.

6️⃣Alcoholic drinks can be dangerous to pets, causing intoxication, vomiting, and even coma. Always keep your drinks out of reach from curious noses.

7️⃣ Streamers, balloons, and confetti are fun, but they can be hazardous if ingested by your pets. Keep decorations out of their reach.

8️⃣ Avoid using insect repellents and sunscreen products on your pets that are not specifically designed for them. They can be toxic when ingested or absorbed through the skin. Pyrethrin is a common ingredient in insect repellent and it can be fatal to cats.

9️⃣ Stay Calm: Your pets can sense your emotions. If you stay calm and relaxed during the celebrations, it will help them feel more at ease too.

🐕🐈 Let's make this July 4th a celebration that's safe and enjoyable for all our furry friends! Spread the word and share these safety tips with your fellow pet parents. Together, we can ensure a happy and stress-free Independence Day for everyone! 🇺🇸❤️🐾

🐍Tis the season!! Do you guys remember when my little Charlie got bitten by a rattlesnake on the farm in CA? He was one tough little guy and made a full recovery! Do you know what to look for and what to do if your dog gets bit?
👀
Recognize the signs. If your dog has been bitten by a rattlesnake, you may notice swelling, pain, redness, or bleeding at the site of the bite. Sometimes the bite site isn’t visible right away! The second photo shows where Charlie was bitten on the face but those marks didn’t show up until 24 hours later! The third photo shows the bruising that can occur due to the anti-coagulation effects of the venom. Left untreated, Charlie wouldn’t have lived. If you’re ever in doubt, Vet it out!
⛑️
They may also show signs of weakness, lethargy, vomiting, diarrhea or difficulty breathing. They might also show neurological signs depending on what kind of snake bit them. Venom can cause damage to nerves, blood vessels, and internal organs. Getting them to veterinary care asap is vital.
⛑️
Keep your dog as calm and quiet as possible. Carry them if you can. If you’ve got a bigger dog, this is a great reason to carry a . If you don’t have one,
at the very least use a leash to prevent them from running around. Either way, get to veterinary care immediately.
🏥
Call ahead to the nearest animal hospital and let them know you're on your way. They may recommend administering antivenin (yep, that’s how it’s spelled) or other treatments.
🛑
Do NOT apply a tourniquet or cut or suck the wound. At most, clean the site with clean water and antiseptic wipes from your first aid kit. Be cautious with bandaging as any swelling could create a tourniquet like situation. Monitor your dog closely while en route and treat for signs of shock if necessary.
🐾
Venomous snake bites are serious and can be life-threatening for dogs. With proper first aid and veterinary treatment, most dogs can make a full recovery.

Mt. Lemmon is one of our favorite places to hike in Tucson!
🏜️
With over 200 miles of trails and stunning views of the Catalina Mountains, it's the perfect spot for a day of adventure with your pup.

Make sure to pack plenty of water, snacks, a leash, your first aid kit and enjoy the beautiful natural scenery along the way!
🌵
Have you explored Mt. Lemmon with your dog?

🏜️The summer heat is creepin’ in!
💧
Did you know that a dog should drink approximately 1 oz of water per pound of body weight on a daily basis just for maintenance. So, if you’re pup weighs 35 pounds, they should be drinking roughly 35 oz of water. Throw in a hot day on the trail and that need increases. Always check with your vet about your dog’s particular needs because health issues, age and other factors play a part.
💧
How do you carry extra water for your dog on your adventures?

✅ Dogs
✅ Mountains
✅ Trees
✅ Trails
🥾
A good weekend in the woods with the dogs means that all the important things that keep all of us safe are in my pack.
🏕️
My pack is always stocked with the 10 essentials and some extra supplies for the dogs: food, water, gps collars, extra leashes, etc.

What do you carry for you and your pup when you head out for adventures?

Paddling! Camping! Hiking!
No matter how you adventure, it’s always better with your dog.

Spring has sprung and summer temps are coming in hot! Make sure you’re keeping your dog safe by knowing a few simple things.
☀️
Pavement isn’t the only thing that gets hot! Check the temp of whatever surface you’re traversing with your pup! Use the back of your hand to assess the temp. If you can’t hold your hand against the surface for 4 seconds, ITS TOO HOT for your dog to be walking on it without protection.
🐾
Grass is usually a safe bet for staying cool but other surfaces like sand, gravel and rocks can get super hot.
Best bet is to get out earlier in the day when temps are less extreme.
☀️
And for the love of all pets everywhere, DONT LEAVE THEM IN A CAR! Even windows slightly cracked aren’t enough to protect them from extreme temps.
🐾
Happy trails out there!
You keep them safe. They’ll keep you wild.

Bees are pretty incredible. We would be in a world of hurt without them.
And, in the case of an unfortunate sting, we’re in a world of hurt because of them.
🥴
Whether our loyal adventure buddy tries to snap at a flying “spicy raisin” or gets stung as an innocent bystander, bee prepared to handle the situation correctly.
🐝
Tweezers are NOT the answer when it comes to removing a stinger!
🐝
In the event of a sting, reach for your Nation Parks Pass card (or any type of rigid plastic card) to gently scrape the stinger out if it’s visible!
🐝
Using tweezers or any kind of squeezing can potentially inject more venom from the stinger into the tissues.
🛑
SCRAPE the stinger out and wash off the area with cool water. An antihistamine such as Benadryl can mitigate anaphylaxis but always talk with your vet about whether it’s appropriate for your dog and the correct dose before administering it. Have that conversation before your next adventure!
🐝
Signs of a reaction can include facial swelling, respiratory distress, severe itching, hives, vomiting, diarrhea, and potentially collapse. The first indications of any of these symptoms warrants a trip to the ER.
⛑️
Your dog depends on you to know how to recognize and respond to an emergency they might be experiencing. Bee prepared by getting trained.
🤓
You keep them safe. They’ll keep you wild.

Weekend vibes.
🐾
Where are you and your pup adventuring this weekend?
🏕️
Do you have a prep routine before every hike or camping trip with your dog?
✅
It’s a good idea to run through your first aid kit to replace anything you’re running low on and anything that’s expired.
✅
If you’re going someplace new this weekend, be sure to write down the name, number and address of the nearest emergency vet and tuck it into your first aid kit.
Store it in your phone as well but always have it written down as a back up!
🐾
Have a great time this weekend! You keep them safe. They’ll keep you wild.

Planning some epic hikes and adventures with your dog? Awesome!
Us too!
🐾
We’d love to hear all about it and see all the fun you’re having! Tag us in your posts or stories and we’ll share what you and your pup are up to.
🏕️
Don’t forget- just like us, doggos need to adequately train and prepare for longer hikes. Start off with short distances, go in the coolest parts of the day, and allow ample time for rest and recovery.

You keep them safe. They’ll keep you wild.

Who’s camping this weekend?! This photo is a throwback to that time I found a stray on my way to go camping and took her with us. It’s a fun story but one with an important reminder.
🐾
Her name was Nelly. I
found that out after I stopped at the vet office right outside the entrance to Yosemite. Luckily she was chipped and the contact info was up to date. The microchip company connected me to her parents (a sweet little elderly couple) and they were relieved to know she had been found however, we were four hours away from Nelly’s home. I asked them if they would be ok with Nelly earning her camping badge over the weekend and I would bring her home in a couple of days. They said yes and Miss Nelly, Zig, Charlie and I had a grand’ol time exploring creek beds, hiking trails and camping together.
I returned her to her parents with lots of stories, smiles and photos to share.
🐾
I think about Nelly often and wonder if she too remembers the time a stranger and two dogs took her camping. I hope she does and that it puts an extra wag in her tail from time to time.
🐾
Is your dog or cat’s microchip up to date? It might be the very thing that’s gets them back home to you.

22/03/2023

Toxins on the trail?
Since it’s Pet Poison Prevention month, it’s a good idea to check in about the potential hazards that our kiddos can encounter in the great outdoors.
☠️
Bee stings, rattlesnakes, poisonous plants, contaminated water, ticks and other parasites and even trail snacks that have things that are toxic for dogs (i.e., raisins grapes, chocolate, etc)- all of these are possible dangers for our adventurous pup.
🪲
But, with some preparation and planning many of these can be avoided or at the very least, you can utilize your K9 first aid knowledge to intervene should you need to.
⛑️
Make sure your first aid kit has Benadryl, tweezers or hemostats, a tick key, magnifying glass, clean water and/or a filter, and safe doggie snacks. This short list is not at all comprehensive, but it will at least get you started on the right track. Stay tuned for more info about how to handle some of these scenarios while adventuring with your pup.
