Anytime you and your dog go hiking, or do anything outdoors, there is a risk for fleas and ticks. They are not fun to get, or easy to get rid of, but they are something us outdoor loving people have to deal with. I have a few facts, and some tips and tricks, that I use for myself and Winter to combat these pesky insects.

The Lake Raven Dam and Spillway was our next stop, about 3 miles down the trail. At the Spillway there is a pond area at the bottom feeding into Prairie Branch Creek. We decided to go off trail a little to let the dogs swim and cool off here. Man did they LOVE that! And they got to meet a few other dogs that were playing in the water as well.
