Wherever you decide to take Fido on their next adventure, make sure they’re outfitted with the appropriate climbing gear, such as a chest harness, and life vest if they’ll be near water. They should also have some form of identification on them in case you become separated, or have them microchipped. You should always carry a first aid kit for you and your pup, as well as an extra bottle of water in your backpack, and be prepared to make lifelong memories as you embark on your journey.
