Dogs Have A Ruff Time At Altitude, Too

FRISCO — Constant panting, lethargy, anorexia are a few signs your pet might be struggling to acclimate to high altitude, according to Dr. Danielle Jehn, of Frisco Animal Hospital. She also said common canine ailments — such as heart murmur, asthma, anemia and more — are exacerbated at altitude, much like in humans. The animal hospital also sees laceration and abrasion injuries from hikes that are too long, such as 14ers. “I would also love to be able to tell all tourists to take it easy on their canine counterparts while visiting us in Summit County, as well,” she said in a blog post.
