Tips for Hiking with Your Dog

Research your route for potential trail hazards and regulations.
Consider your dog’s physical ability and pick appropriate trails. Reach out to your vet to be sure your dog is able to hike. Also, ask about flea and tick protection.
Practice trail etiquette.
Pack enough food and water for yourself and your dog.
Review the weather and beware of heat and/or cold.
Check gear—see if your dog needs a special pack, harness, leash, or first-aid kit. Look into a runner’s leash, which allows you to free your hands so you can ensure three points of contact when terrain is steep.
Follow the Leave No Trace Principles for yourself and your dog.
Have fun!
