Meltdown Monday

It was a hot one today. Temperatures reaching almost 100 degrees. We still headed out to the trails, we just packed some extra hydration which the dogs sure appreciated. We took a beautiful trail at Bort Meadows on the Castro Valley/Oakland border.

Our two Viszla's Dasco and Rez each have their goals when we hit the trails. Dasco, although fully content laying on the couch, is working on his figure and dropping a few extra pounds, while his brother Rez is burning all his pent up energy from the day. He uses his hiking time to just let loose.

The end result is two happy dogs, sleeping the night away at home, what a wonderful world.

DAILY STATS: 
Time: 1.5 hrs  |  Distance: 2.3 miles 
Location & Trails: Bort Meadows, Brandon Trail, Horseshoe Trail

WELCOME!

Welcome to Hounds on Hikes, a unique opportunity for your dog to get in touch with nature! You may be wondering "What is so special about trail hiking, as opposed to a nice neighborhood walk or a trip to the park?" The truth is that we have personally seen the excitement and joy on our pooches faces every time we adventure through a new trail. Whether it be our tiny Rat terrier or our two large Vizsla's, the experience is all the same.

Our beloved pets join us as we explore new trails. The open lands, the fresh air, the many new smells, and the final reach to the top of the mountain where our pets are rewarded with cool water and delicious treats. This dog's life just can't be beat.

We know people want the best for their pets, and with our one of a kind services, we can guarantee they will get just that.
