Napa Humane's 10th Annual Walk for Animals is Going Virtual!
Our
10th annual Walk for Animals event benefiting Napa Valley's companion animals is not only our community's largest pet-friendly event, it's also Napa Humane's biggest annual fundraiser.
Funds raised at Walk for Animals help subsidize our lifesaving and prevention-focused programs and services for Napa Valley's pets and their people, keeping pets healthy and in loving homes.
We want to ensure our community of animal lovers can safely enjoy walking to support Napa Valley's companion animals while maintaining safe practices, so we are once again going virtual for this milestone event.
Check out all of the events!

It's Summer & Splash Time for your Dog
It's officially summertime! Lakes and rivers are not so full as last year, but don’t let the drought hamper your fun. Thousands of splash spots in California await people and pups eager to get wet in the great outdoors. Here are some of DogTrekker's favorites:
Rollin' on the River
There’s something magical about the Big River estuary near Mendocino—and something ingenious about the “canine cruiser” that transports two- and four-legged visitors down the calm and inky river to the sea. Catch A Canoe & Bicycles Too, which has been outfitting paddlers on an 8.3-mile section of the river since 1972, added the cruiser to its fleet of handmade redwood watercraft more than a decade ago. more »
Wild Blue Dog Camp at Lake Tahoe
Go for a beach romp, a hike or a tram ride—or, go to camp with Wild Blue Dogs! Summer is high season at Northern California’s favorite vacation destination, and now, with the state’s pandemic restrictions easing up, you can lower the mask and breath deep of that invigorating mountain air. Here are some tried and true DogTrekker tips on how to enjoy Big Blue with your four-legged sidekick. more »

The Little River Inn brings back its very popular Water Dog package at the Little River Inn Resort & Spa, perched on a bluff overlooking the Pacific. You’ll enjoy a two-night stay in a pet-friendly guest room, a Kayak Albion River Nature Tour, a goodie bag with dog treats and info on where to hike and boat with dogs—plus a $120 dinner voucher good for takeout dining and in-person outdoor dining under the big white tent! more »
Russian River Adventures
Nine miles. Four to six hours. Countless tail wags, big smiles. A float or paddle on a secluded section of the Russian River is a DogTrekker must-do for visitors to Sonoma County. With your water-crazy dog aboard in a custom-made SOAR, inflatable canoe from Russian River Adventures, you’ll explore a section of the river downstream from Healdsburg and linger at swimming holes and beaches along the way. Boats are limited this year, so book soon. more »

Diabetes Mellitus in dogs can occur at any age. However, diabetic dogs are usually 4-14 years of age and most are diagnosed at roughly 7-10 years of age
[1].
Whether your dog has been recently diagnosed or you are interested in preventing the disease, one of my favorite recommendations is to give home cooking a try. At the end of this article, I’ve provided readers with an easy to make, fully balanced, diabetic friendly recipe.
