Do you have a pup who loves to play in the ocean, loves to play fetch in the sand, or loves to dig holes in the sand? Did you know that these activities can pose a life threatening risk for your furry friend?
On episode 12 of the Snorts, Slobber, & K9 Adventures Podcast, Jane Kleinberger (dog mom to @kino.thehighlifedog) shares a horrifying story about how a few hours of frolicking on the beach almost cost Kino his life.
Prior to talking with Jane, I had never heard of sand impaction, did not realize how common it is for dogs, and definitely didn’t know that my dog could die from it!
This was such an eye opening episode for me and is an episode every dog parent needs to hear. Jane does a wonderful job of sharing her story and providing tips for how to keep your dog safe.
And if you are looking for a dog friendly adventure spot in California, you are going to want to hear Jane's fantastic review of Mammoth Lakes.
Mammoth Lakes is a year-round resort town located high in the Eastern Sierra Nevada Mountains about 5 hours from LA and 3 hours from Reno, NV, and only an hour away from Yosemite! With an abundance of lakes and streams fed by the slow melting of the snowcap, it is also home to some great hiking spots for you and your pup as well as a great spot for fishing and mountain biking. Year-round the night sky provides a fantastic light show that humans and dogs will enjoy – especially during periods of meteor showers like the Perseids and Geminids!
