Exploring the great outdoors with your dog can be a wonderful experience. Prepare your pooch with shorter hikes in the weeks before a trip, and don't forget the flea and tick treatment. Carry plenty of bottled water, food, and a short leash attached to a dog harness. A healthy dog without joint problems can carry about one-quarter of his weight in a backpack, but don't give a pack to dogs under the age of 1 year. Check your pet's paws regularly for soreness or debris, and frequently stop in the shade for rest and water, because your dog probably won't complain when tired.
