As a bonus tip, I’ve used Bach Flower Remedies as an all-natural stress reliever, both for myself and my dogs. The company produces one that’s specifically made for animals—just add a few drops into their water and it helps keep them calm.
If camping or hiking always check for ticks upon returning. If possible bathe your dog as it may help reduce allergens.
