Classes to Consider:

Before You Go:

Check weather
Check terrain for water access, gullies, cliffs, other hazards
Learn about wildlife - snakes, predators, big herbivores, cattle, loose dogs. What are the risks with them? What can be done to mitigate these risks?
Check where property lines are in case of private property crossings.
Nearest emergency vet
Nearest emergency room

Permethrin clothes as needed
Add Seresto collar as needed (we use in addition to Bravecto)
Spray dog with Show Sheen to reduce burr/foxtail collection as needed
