Bring Your Best Friend On These Pet Friendly Vacations In Michigan

While you’re walking around town with your cranky friend, take them to Starbucks for a puccino (which is a small cup filled with whipped cream).

Pro tip: Dogs are allowed on leashes in many stores in town, so you may want to walk around while looking for your favorite Winter Park sweater or dog blanket.

After a day of mountain activities, take advantage of dinner delivery to your door! We recommend ordering Pizza Pedal’r online so you can take a break from the slice and main pile from the comfort of your swim at the Vintage Hotel.

After a few slices (okay, a lot of slices), head downtown and relax with a beer while your kid gets a four-legged friend at Hideaway Brewery. The intimate dining room offers a wide range of concoctions, made in-house. It’s a perfect stop for beer lovers and families. The relaxed atmosphere is perfect for you and your pup to hang out and mingle with the local crowd, plus the marquee patio is perfect for outdoor sipping at any time of year. Am I still hungry? Stop at Fraser Valley Hotdog for more food. We recommend the classic, the Chicago Dog.

Want to find another dog-friendly place? Fraser River Beer CO is a brewery. The beer is made in small, handmade batches. They use malt, hops and yeast grown in Colorado. Not only do they brew beer, but Kombucha art is always available. Alpen Glow Amber Ale always hits the spot. Get it while it lasts!

Are you thirsty too? Viscous Cycle Brewery in Fraser is a great place for dogs (and their people) to drink alcohol in an open and welcoming environment. The food court is also outside, so you can eat while enjoying yourself.

Your co-driver might want to stretch his legs. Start the day early with a great ride! Before you start, be sure to read the climb forecast and get your wristband here. Not only does your wristband give you a boost for the season, it also benefits Grand County Search and Rescue.

Climbing before the slopes open is the best way to get out and enjoy the sunrise. Mary Jane is a great option as there is a car park for access to the slopes and a friendly station entrance. See the track map here.

10 Dog Breeds That Love The Snow

If skiing isn’t your thing, grab a pair of snowshoes and head into the woods. Sailing is a great activity to get rid of the drive while enjoying the trees and snow-capped peaks. We recommend taking the Fraser River Trail for a leisurely stroll through the heart of Winter Park. Southwest Pass offers great views and Yankee Doodle makes for a tough climb through the forest with great views. Want to see more options? See all our tips for cross-country skiing and snowboarding here. With hundreds of miles of trails to explore, you’re ready for endless tailgating. Snowshoe rentals are available at Adventure Supply & Co. on the Winter Park Resort grounds.

Taking your dog for a walk in the rain or snow is a fun and good way to keep him active in the winter. But traveling with your child in cold, wet conditions has its own challenges. Here are some tricks we learned to keep our dogs comfortable, happy and healthy on winter hikes.

17 Best Winter Coats And Jackets For Dogs In 2023

Here’s a quick rundown of our favorite cold dog recipes if you’re in a hurry. You can use this as a checklist, although many of the points below are optional. We will also provide more information on why we recommend these products below.

Factors such as breed, size, age, coat type, activity level and metabolism determine how well your dog does in the cold. Check your dog’s temperature close to home before going on a long winter walk. Watch for signs of discomfort such as shaking, stretching, refusing to walk or picking/licking feet. You know your dog best, so use your best judgment to decide when it’s appropriate to take him on a walk and when it’s best to leave him at home. Most healthy, active dogs can tolerate cold temperatures, but some may benefit from one

Snow sticks to dogs under certain conditions and can cause hypothermia or injury if it gets out of hand.

It is very important to be open to changes in plans when traveling with a dog. If the conditions are more difficult than you expected, it is better to turn around and go to plan B. Just like us, dogs have good days and bad days – sometimes they will happily cross snowdrifts for hours, while other times they will cry for early . The parking lot is not even visible. Don’t be out of luck if things go wrong, especially if you’re more than an hour away from your car. It is better to cut the trip short and go on a sightseeing trip or cozy up in the house than to repeat the winter that can lead to serious injury or even death.

Happy dogs can focus their energy early on, so keep winter walks short and build experience slowly.

Happy dogs may seem unscathed from walking on snow or ice at first, but it’s best to bring something to your dog’s feet if they start to show signs of discomfort. Prolonged exposure to cold surfaces (or salt spray) can damage your dog’s shoes and can lead to cracks, blisters and even hypothermia. Dog shoes are an easy solution. Your dog may have fun walking around at first, but they’ll soon forget they’re wearing them when something funny catches their attention. If shoes aren’t your dog’s thing, or you have trouble keeping them off your friend’s feet, try Musher’s Secret Waxinstead. Apply conditioner generously to the pads of the feet and between the toes to create a protective barrier and prevent the formation of snow. For best results, keep the nails and fur on the legs short.

Musher’s Secret creates a barrier for your dog’s skin and prevents snow from sticking to his paws.

Some dogs – especially those with long or textured hair – may start to form snowballs or ‘snowballs’ which stick to the ground, burrow and their feet. As these snowballs grow in size, they become heavy and can pull on the dog’s skin. Accumulated snow on your child’s body will cause them to freeze quickly, and ice balls stuck between their toes can cause lacerations. To prevent this, occasionally stop and check on your dog. Rub a large snowball between your fingers to avoid painful rubbing and gently scrape the fur to remove as much snow as possible. To avoid the dreaded snowball, try pre-treating the problem area by smoothing the wool with coconut oil. Just be sure to test a small area before you start to make sure your dog isn’t allergic. If snowballing is a problem for your dog, a costume with belly and leg covers is a good choice.
