Hike This Way! Woof!
Take the ho-hum out of those sidewalk treks with your dog by doing a hike together. Hikes provide great cardiovascular workouts and combat stress. As a Vetstreet.com editor, Arden interviewed Dr. Christine Zink, DVM, PhD, a veterinarian who specializes in canine sports medicine in Baltimore, Md., for her top tips for getting the most out of a hike with your pup. Dr. Zink advises that you:
- Book physicals for you and your dog before lacing those hiking books.
- Master the "come back" call. Practice your dog's recall capabilities in an enclosed area, such as a backyard, before allowing him to be off-leash in hiking areas that permit dogs on trails.
- Pack with safety in mind. Your backpack should include plenty of water for you and your dog, easy-to-digest protein doggie treats (such as dried liver), sunscreen for white or thin-coated dogs, a small pet first-aid kit and your cell phone.

Save Our Garden! 
Got a dog with a penchant for digging? Neighborhood cats who use your fresh topsoil as a litter box? Help is here. Master gardener Judy Macomber, Editor-Publisher of Pet Lovers Publications, unearths these tips:
- Time the planting of your garden when your dog is indoors or being taken on a l-o-n-g walk.
- Plant a hedge along your fence line or grow jasmine on a chain-link fence to prevent your dog from racing up and down and trampling blooms and grass.
- Stop stray cats from soiling gardens by installing Coyote Rollers along the top of your fence or garden-specific Cat Scat Mats.
- Hoist delicate plants in hanging pots, so they're out of paws' reach.
