I go out hiking regularly with the whole family and our dog is very much a part of these activities. \u00a0As shown in a recent post, I try to be organised with what I take on these types of day trips and have always included a small first aid kit for those \u201cyou-never-know-when\u201d moments. \u00a0I have to say that I have been neglectful in one aspect until a fairly recent event. During the February snow, we decided to go for a shorter excursion across the fields near where we live. \u00a0It was cold but great to get some exercise. The ground was covered with snow, but it was a light covering, so walking wasn\u2019t hard. We were mid walk when we noticed a trail of red in the white snow behind us. \u00a0It was then that we realised one of our dog\u2019s paws had been cut by something on the walk. Fortunately our dog is small, so could be easily carried and we weren\u2019t too far away from home to be able to deal with the injury swiftly. However, I now realise that I definitely need to carry a dog first-aid kit with me too. \u00a0Take a look at the items I now consider to be essential for walking or hiking with dogs.<\/span><\/p>\n
