🌿🚶 Lace up your shoes and hit the trails to celebrate the joy of walking and the beauty of nature. 🌳 Whether you're a seasoned hiker or just starting out, taking care of your feet is crucial for a comfortable and enjoyable trek.

Dr Arlo, my cute little Cockapoo has some tips below to keep your feet happy on your hiking adventures this Spring/Summer:

1️⃣ Choose the right footwear: Invest in a good pair of hiking boots or shoes that provide proper support, cushioning, and traction for the terrain you'll be exploring.

2️⃣ Keep your feet dry: Moisture can lead to blisters and discomfort, so wear moisture-wicking socks and consider using foot powder to keep your feet dry.

3️⃣ Trim your toenails: Long toenails can rub against your shoes and cause pain or injury, so make sure to keep them short before hitting the trails.

4️⃣ Take breaks: Give your feet a rest and a chance to breathe by taking breaks during your hike. Remove your shoes and socks to air out your feet if possible.

5️⃣ Stay hydrated: Proper hydration is essential for overall health, including the health of your feet. Drink plenty of water to prevent swelling and cramping.

6️⃣ Listen to your feet: Pay attention to any discomfort or pain in your feet during your hike. Stop and address any issues before they turn into bigger problems.
