There are several disease precautions that outdoor enthusiasts and their pet companions should take into consideration before their next camping, hiking, kayaking or backpacking trip this summer!  The AVMA (American Veterinary Medical Association) has compiled a list of safety precautions that should be taken when enjoying the outdoors.

Many people's biggest concern about being outdoors in nature is getting attacked by an animal, or suffering from a physical injury. Keep you and your pet safe by mapping out  your trail, and keep a close watch on your surroundings.

Although physical injuries are serious issues, another risk for you and your pet companion are infectious diseases. You and your pet are at a higher risk for this from under-prepared food or contaminated water. There is also the possibility of transmitting infectious diseases through insects such as mosquito's, ticks, fleas and/or mites.

Be sure to take the proper precautions for you and your pet before setting out and about into nature this summer!
