At Dogs Go Hiking (DGH), we are more than just a dog walking service; we are a community of passionate dog lovers dedicated to providing the best care and adventure for our furry clients. Operating on both the North Shore and South Shore of Massachusetts, DGH offers a unique and fulfilling work experience that sets us apart from the rest. Here’s why being a part of our team is so rewarding.

Ticks are a common concern for dog owners, especially those who enjoy hiking in the beautiful wooded trails and grassy fields of Eastern Massachusetts. These tiny parasites can pose serious health risks to both dogs and humans, making tick prevention and safety a top priority. 

We know keeping our pets safe in the heat is important but how to add more fun and treats to their lives is important too! We love treating our pet dogs to a refreshing and healthy snack after a walk or hike to help them hydrate and cool down.

Keeping dogs safe in hot weather is crucial because dogs are highly susceptible to heat-related illnesses, such as heat stroke, which can be fatal. Unlike humans, dogs cannot sweat efficiently, so they rely on panting and releasing heat through their paw pads to regulate their body temperature. In hot weather, this natural cooling mechanism may not be enough to prevent overheating.
