True! I will admit that Grizzly bears and Moose make a bit nervous especially with dogs. I think there are Black bears in Oregon but didn't see any when I was there in June.

I think this trip will only be about 3 days total of hiking and camping because my husband can't leave his job for too long but do you think they would still need booties on a short trip? The trip I'm looking at in Oregon would mostly just be dirt trails and along the beach.

And I just bought some 50ft lines so good to go there! We have a dog first aid kit but do not have gas strips in it, that is a great suggestion thank you!
