\nFrom the East Coast to the Rocky Mountains, we’ve been fortunate\u00a0to enjoy trail time with all of our four legged companions. Thanksgiving holiday was a time for local\u00a0hikes through the Colorado foothills with Tatum and friends. Christmas provided for humid, unseasonably warm hiking along the river in Connecticut with our cousin, Lexi. New Years will be spent in Bailey, CO snowshoeing through the forest in just above freezing temps.<\/p>\n

The variety of terrain and change in weather patterns makes for interesting outings. Outings that call for preparedness. One thing we’ve learned over the years is to prepare for all kinds of conditions.\u00a0Here’s a list\u00a0of our “must have” picks when hiking in the Winter…<\/p>\n

Reflective\u00a0dog vest – <\/strong>Hunting season must have
\n Fleece lined waterproof vest <\/strong>– Cold days & snow fall
\nMusher’s Secret<\/strong> – Dog paw wax, natural breathable paw protection\u00a0to avoid\u00a0snow & ice build up in paws
\nLED light<\/strong> – Attach to your dog’s collar for short days with early sunsets. Perfect for Winter dusk
\nWater<\/strong> – Keep your dog hydrated, snow does not satisfy hydrations needs
\nExtra food<\/strong> – You never know when you might get held up or stay out longer than expected. Winter conditions often mean more calories burned when hiking through snow, important to stay energized with good nutritional snacks, i.e. TRAIL DOG TREATS \ud83d\ude42
\nPoop bags<\/strong> – Always a necessity, no matter what the season<\/p>\n
