Snowshoeing is fantastic exercise, not to mention an avalanche of fun and fairly inexpensive to take up. You can pick up a pair in most sporting goods stores, and even department stores (I got mine at Costco), or rent them for the day. And there’s no reason why your dog can’t join you in this winter sport. But before you head out on your on your frosty excursion, Kevin Roberts, snowshoer extraordinaire, offers these important tips to ensure your dog can keep up, keep comfortable and keep energized at you trek across the wintery tundra trails.

ID Please. There is no worse feeling than losing a pet. A collar with an ID tag is insurance – if you and your dog get separated, the people who find him will be able to call you and facilitate a quick reunion. Be sure the tag has your cell phone number on it. When you’re out in the cold, keep your cellphone in an interior pocket. Your body heat will keep the battery warmer and it will be more likely to work in case of an emergency.
