Don't ruin your summer outing by ending up in the Pet E.R. due to your pup suffering from heat stroke or worse, water intoxication.  Both are avoidable if we know the signs, symptoms and what to do next. Don't think for one minute this can't happen in your own backyard. Dogs are sensitive and must be watched like children. Take a listen and find out what I am adding to my first aid kit before Warren and I head out on our first hike of the year. Small changes and awareness make all the difference in your dog's health.
