Winterize your dog (and yourself)

Preparation is key whenever you head up to snow country. DogTrekker offers these tips:

• Winterizing Your Dog – Your vehicle isn’t the only thing that needs attention before you head to the mountains. Your dog needs preventative maintenance, too!

• Cool Stuff for Winter Dog Romps – From YakTraks and Stabil Icers to skijoring equipment and the Umbilical Belt, these devices will make walking, skiing, hiking, walking or snowshoeing with your dog a safer and more pleasant experience.
