  Your dog just rolled in something mysterious. Or maybe they smell a little "doggy," and you're wondering if it's time for a bath.

A Labrador and a Poodle need very different bath routines.  This simple guide gives you a schedule for each coat type, plus easy signs to tell when your dog needs a wash. The Quick Answer Most dogs do well with a bath every 4 to 8 weeks. Some need it more often, and some much less.

  Fall might be the best season to hit the trail with your dog. The heat of summer is gone, and most dogs seem to have a little extra energy once the temperature drops. But cooler weather brings its own set of things to watch for. Yes, hiking with your dog in fall is generally safe and often more comfortable than summer hiking, as long as you plan around a few seasonal risks.  Shorter days, cooler temperatures, and trail hazards like mushrooms or sharp seed pods all call for a bit of extra awareness. Here's what to actually keep in mind before you head out this season. Why Fall Is Actually a Great Time to Hike With Your Dog?
