DOG DAYS OF SUMMER

The DOG DAYS or DOG DAYS OF SUMMER are the hot, sultry days of summer. They were historically the period following the heliacal rising of the star system Sirius, which Greek and Roman astrology connected with heat, drought, sudden thunderstorms, lethargy, fever, mad dogs, and bad luck. They are now taken to be the hottest, most uncomfortable part of summer in the Northern Hemisphere.

COMPLETE THE CHALLENGE.
EARN THE PATCH.

Here it is…a simple but persistent challenge.

Ruck your dog (or pet) throughout the month of August at least 5 days/week.

No need to hit a specific mileage, just show your furry friend some love throughout the month. We want you and your pet to be safe, so plan your mileage accordingly. Don’t feel the need to push too far if its hot and humid. Take it easy and have fun with this one!

Want more of a challenge? Pick a mileage and hit it…or pledge to ruck your pet everyday. Just get out of the house and ruck that dog.

NOTE ON PET OVERHEATING:

According to the AKC Canine Health Foundation, here are some simple precautions can ward off dehydration and overheating.  

To help prevent dehydration, offer dogs water at least hourly, experts advise. Many enjoy hunting so much they run until collapsing, so owners should watch closely to know when their dog has had enough. Wobbliness, weakness or collapse are signs to provide shade and offer small amounts of water.  If your dog doesn’t improve, seek immediate veterinary attention. Read more

Don’t have a pet? No problem, you can always join a friend who is rucking their dog (or borrow one from a neighbor)…or even better, call a local shelter and ask to walk one of the dogs who are waiting for their forever home.

We love DOGS (and animals in general). Let’s see those pets rucking!
