Natural dog joint support to alleviate arthritis, muscle, and joint discomfort
Outdoor weather means some lovely photographs for your dog’s Instagram page and some amazing stories to tell in the cold winter season that follows. The activity that tops the list of most dog parents is hiking. Hiking with a dog makes the view, in the end, a lot more special. It’s fun to see your furry pal scurry across steep slopes like a mountain goat. And to pause every now and then for a chin-scratching break.
Just like you, your dog is excited to explore new territories. As much as the wild and the mountain tops look stunningly beautiful, they are also riddled with dangers like ticks, wildlife, and lost trails. You have to be prepared! For Fido’s safety. We’ve put together a handy list of 10 tips that will help hiking dog parents feel more confident and prepared when making new memories. Here goes!
#1. Keep your hands free – For a few weeks before you start hiking, practice using a hands-free leash. It attaches to your waist instead of your hands and ensures that your dog will always be attached to you. It also leaves your hands free to do some climbing and holding if needed.
#2. Practice obedience – Practice your ‘Heel’, ‘Stop’ and ‘Come’ commands thoroughly. In off-leash hike trails, there will always be distractions and dangers. Obedience is the key to a successful hike. Not only is it stressful to run after Fido trying to get him to listen to you, but an untrained dog is also a threat to other dogs and humans there. So keep your pup behaving his best.
Get your dog to drink water every time you pause for a drinking break.
#3. Hydrate your pup – Bring water along. Always. Also, carry a portable dog water bowl or some disposable paper bowls. Make sure you keep your four-legged hiking companion hydrated. Get your dog to drink water every time you pause for a drinking break. This way you will develop a healthy rhythm together.
#4. Treat your dog – Bring along some dry treats and if it is going to be a long hike then bring along your dog’s food in a safe container. By safe we mean one that can keep it fresh, cool, and dry. It is not recommended to try new food on the hilltop when your dog is going to be exerting more than usual. The last thing you want is a pooch with an upset tummy. Dogs love our My Little Wolf treats come in Salmon and Turkey flavors and are healthy dry treats to carry along.
#5. Avoid jagged surfaces – We know our best friend happily enjoys a ruff life. 🙂 But his paw pads can take a toll from all that walking. They can also turn sore and discomfort. NHV Heal Care ointment is an all-natural aid that can come in handy after a hike. Rub it on their paws for a few nights to promote healing. You can even massage it on their legs to bring relief from sore limbs and muscle discomfort.
#6. Carry an umbrella – Besides keeping you dry in an untimely shower, it will also help you break a dog fight. Yes, that can happen. There will be other dogs and sometimes they don’t get along. The old trick of popping an umbrella between two dogs showing aggression always gives you some important seconds to save your dog. By the way, pouring water on dogs also helps calm them down and break a fight.
#7. Tick away – The biggest fight in the wild is against external parasites. Ticks, flea, and mosquitoes. Do your research to confirm that the place you are heading off to is not a tick-prone area. NHV Target Spray is an all-natural tick, flea, and mosquito deterrent. It has no chemicals and works effectively. Keep it handy and spray on your dog every few hours, when hiking.
#8. Keep a towel handy – In case you notice your dog getting too hot, you can place a damp towel underneath. It works better than the common practice of placing it on his head.
#9. Just keep swimming – If the hike involves a dip in the pool (Awesome, by the way), please make sure your dog gets to dry off in the sun. Use a towel to clean his ears, paws, and armpits specifically. And once dry, spray the NHV Target spray again.
#10. Respect the wild – Steer clear of any plants that seem poisonous or ones that you are unsure about. Here’s a list of some common plants that are poisonous to dogs and cats. Dogs can attract wildlife like cougars and bears. Be prepared with the necessary protection in case you have a wild encounter.
Once home from your exciting hiking adventure, don’t forget to share all those photographs with us on Instagram, and don’t forget to give your dog a warm bath. If your furry pal is older but still loves to hike, you can naturally support his joints to aid easier and more comfortable movement. NHV Old timer is a great herbal remedy for senior dogs and cats. Adding the right dosage to your dog’s food, twice a day can make it a comfortable hiking trip for him with no sore limbs and joints later. Another great supplement for dogs of outdoor-loving parents is NHV Yucca. It is a herbal extract that helps relieve discomfort, soothe muscles, and aid digestion.

Your stories and tips will be very helpful. Let our pet experts know if you have any questions, we are here to help. Happy Hiking, folks!

Dog Paw Pad Ointment for Burn Support
Paw pad injuries due to over-exercise are common injuries for active pups, especially on hot summer days. Running back and forth on rough surfaces like concrete, pavement, or gravel may cause tenderness, blisters, burns, and possible peeling in the pad skin. As a rule of thumb, if the surface is too hot to put the back of your hand onto it, then it isn't safe for your little one to be walking on it either. Dog paw pads are pretty tough, but they aren't meant for running on such hard surfaces for long periods of time. Don't feel bad if your fluffy friend has a paw pad injury and you didn’t notice right away because there may not be any symptoms until they are settling down at home later. Just like summer, winter can present some risks as well. It is easy for your pup's paw pads to get dehydrated, dry or cracked with dry, cold weather. The iconic blue/green salt that is sprinkled onto sideways and walkways can definitely cause ouchies in your furkiddo's paws. To avoid paw pad injuries, consider protective accessories like booties or shoes for your furbaby. Shorter walks, limiting time on hot surfaces and using a topical ointment for dog paws are other ways to prevent paw pad injuries.
How NHV’s Dog Paw Ointment Supports Paw Pad Injuries and More
Paw pad injuries can be minor scratches but sometimes the pads are so badly damaged that the surface of the skin begins to blister and peel away from the foot. These injuries can take quite a while to heal and cause a lot of pain and discomfort for your furkiddo. For more severe injuries, vet-prescribed antibiotics may be required. For less severe burns and scrapes, a topical ointment for dog paws like NHV Heal Care can help soothe inflamed skin and help decrease the risk of infection - your pup's paws aren't always the cleanest so they can be at a higher risk for a bacterial or fungal (yeast) infection.
Heal care for dogs contains ingredients like Arnica and St. John's Wort which are beneficial for a variety of issues from burnt paw pads to achy joints. Arnica is known for its ability to help sprains and joint discomfort by dilating blood vessels, increasing circulation to the affected area and enhancing recovery. St. John’s Wort is a cooling herb that has traditionally been used for reducing inflammation and promoting healing from injuries such as burns, bruises, sores, cramps, sprains and discomfort caused by nerve damage.
