Hitting the trail with our K9 companions can be a joyous activity and it's important that we make sure our pups are prepared, fed, and safe out there when we do it. This week I talk to Wendy and Bobbi from the High Peaks Animal Hospital to hear all about the right ways to safely and successfully venture into the outdoors with our dogs.

Before you head into the outdoors with your dogs it's important to always know where the closest animal hospital is located and what their hours are if an emergency occurs. The High Peaks Animal Hospital is located within the high peaks region in Ray Brook, NY, nestled in-between Lake Placid and Saranac Lake.
