ID Tags For Identification

It's always a scary, "what if" thought. But, it can happen. Dogs do get lost. So it's super important that your dog is wearing a very clear i.d tag. It's also smart to have a picture of them too, just incase.

Don't forget those doggy bags!

It's the right thing to do, and it's actually the the law in most places. Also bring a couple of gallon Ziploc bags to put the full waste bags to help keep the rest of your hike smell free.
