It’s really hard to consider, but every year in the U.S. 10 million dogs and cats are lost to their owners. 10 million! That means 1 out of 3 pets will go missing in their lifetime. The numbers are staggering, and very hard to think about when you consider it being your furry family member. But with numbers like these, its also crucial to think about how to prevent your dog from becoming lost, what to do if they are lost and what steps to take if you find a lost dog that isn’t yours. With the right plan in place, we can reduce the number of dogs that become statistics.
One of the best parts of having a canine adventure buddy is all the exploring you get to do together. Hiking mountains, rivers, forests, canyons, and fields is so much better with a dog. Tireless and joyful, your dog will go with you wherever you roam, including some very remote places.
But how do you handle it when one of you gets hurt on the trail?
Getting a new puppy so is so exciting! Everything is new to them, and it’s fun to watch them explore the world. Their first encounter with stairs, learning how to carry a stick twice their size, protecting you from their reflection in the mirror and so much more. And there is a lot you have to teach your puppy. He needs to know where to go to the bathroom, how to chew bones and not the new shoes you just bought, and how to sleep on his own.
You got a puppy in part to have an awesome adventure buddy. But have you given much thought to what you’ll need to teach your puppy to become the ultimate adventure dog? Some people simply head out on the trail with their new puppy and hope for the best. But you weren’t born knowing how to hike, camp and climb, and neither was your puppy.
Here are our top training tips to set you and your dog up for many miles of successful camping trips and mountain trails.
You’re ready for an awesome weekend full of outdoor adventures with your pup.
Water? Check. Leash? Check.
Granola bars? Check. Wait…..do they make granola bars for dogs?
Buying dog treats at the store can be quick and easy when you’re in a hurry, but if you want to ensure that your dog is getting the absolute best, whole ingredients, or if your dog has specific food requirements, there’s no substitute for making your own.
Did you know that 2 January is National Pet Travel Safety Day? And with a company slogan like Never Roam Alone™… we can obviously get behind a holiday like this.
(Seriously… we don’t make these things up, just ask Google.)
Your dog is a member of the family and likely to tag along when you hit the road, but just like traveling with any other family member, their safety and comfort is important regardless of the distance or destination.
We’ve put together a list of 10 safety tips for you and your best friend.
Happy Summer Solstice!
That’s right, today 21 June, 2019 is the summer solstice - the first official day of summer!
And as we enjoy all things summer, today is one of those days where we’re not short of “national holidays” to celebrate. From National Peaches ‘N’ Cream Day (yum) to International Yoga Day…
But our favorite would have to be National Take Your Dog To Work Day!
For many of us, spring through fall is peak hiking/camping season. Unfortunately, it’s also snake season, which means we have to coexist on the trails with these danger noodles.
Joking aside, this is a serious matter and one that everyone should be aware of.
Yesterday marked the first official day of Daylight Savings Time, so now the big question is: what are you going to do with your extra hour of daylight every day?
Many of us find solace on the trail. Peace, solitude… a quiet place to de-stress and spend quality time with ourselves, friends and pets.
It goes without saying that people have mixed feelings about their encounters with fellow hikers accompanied by dogs. As hikers, we’re responsible for our actions and when we hike with our dogs, we’re also responsible for theirs.
