If you live in a heavily wooded area that is prone to hunters, then make sure you take the right precautions when walking your dog in or around that area. For instance, contact your local wildlife officer and find out the hunting season dates for your area. Be aware that you are not the only one in the woods or on the trails when walking your dog. Make sure you are wearing bright orange or another bright fluorescent color. Orange vests and hats are the most recommended. Your dog should also be wearing a bright orange so as not to be confused with wildlife. You can pick up an orange vest and other bright colored gear at your local pet store. If possible, avoid walking in areas where hunters will be present or walk the area on Sundays as this day is usually a no hunting day. For more tips, give your veterinarian Hiram, GA a call.
