A DIY Dog Sling for Emergencies

Here's a quick little article from MainePets.com that details how to build an inexpensive dog sling from a firewood carrier and (of course) some duct tape.

It sounds like a handy contraption to keep in the trunk at the trail head just in case your dog has an accident and needs to be evacuated from the trail.  Anyone who has had to carry a bigger dog knows that can be quite a challenge.

Rehydrate - Electrolyte Sports Drink for Dogs

Backcountry K-9 is now carrying Rehydrate, a sports drink for dogs. 

Rehydrate is designed to give canines a more effective hydration system than drinking plain water. The effervescent tablet that dissolves in water is formulated to replenish any lost electrolytes (i.e. sodium, chloride, potassium, etc.) due to aerobic activity.

Dogs don't sweat as profusely as humans do; they rely on their tongue and the pads on their feet to regulate and dispel heat.

Regulation of fluid levels becomes more important to control heart rate and core body temperature. By helping to maintain normal heart and temperature conditions, your buddy is less likely to suffer from the fatigue associated with exercise.

Get 10 Rehydrate tablets at Backcountry K-9 for only $8.99
