How do I prepare my dog for high altitude?
How do I prepare my dog for high altitude? Be sure to gradually increase your dog's exposure to higher altitudes by starting lower and taking short hikes at progressively higher elevations over the course of several weeks. If your dog is adjusting well, increase the distance in the same manner.
What altitude is too high for dogs?
Even if your dog is healthy and has successfully completed high altitude treks before, there is no guarantee that they will not experience altitude sickness subsequently. Observe your dog for signs of illness whenever they are exposed to altitudes over 8,000 feet.
