The temperature is soaring in Denver as we welcome more of our relocating spring and summer clients to their new homes in the Mile High City. Next to moving children, our pets usually are usually the next biggest priority. A summer move to Denver can present some changes that perhaps you might not have anticipated. Sure, its been hot but we also have an elevation that neither you nor your pet might have encountered before.
It is easier for a pet to become dehydrated at a higher altitude. Many pets simply do not drink enough water. Offer water to them often in a manner to which they accustomed to drinking it. My finicky little Persian will only drink from his water fountain that produces filtered water!
For dog lovers who want to get into our beautiful Rocky Mountains to hike with man’s best friend, it is advisable to condition them a bit first and to have them checked over by the local vet before trying any trails that may be too rigorous. Take plenty of fresh water for your four-legged friend. You might want to give your dog some practice before the hike in drinking from a water bottle, Sierra cups, cupped hand, hydration bottle tube, etc. The back country isn’t where your dog should suddenly get picky on its water containers. Of course, like many of our canine friends, he might be perfectly happy drinking from the crystal clear stream coming out of the majestic Rocky Mountains. You and your dog are bound to have a Rocky Mountain High just thinking about it!
