“Love where you live,” they say. For us here at Atlas, that means finding a home with easy access to trails, beautiful weather, and proximity to a few decent microbreweries. Most importantly, though, it means being able to spend as much time with our four-legged best friends as possible.

We asked the experts and did our research to find the best towns in America for dog lovers - we think you’ll agree that the five spots we discovered sound like canine heaven.

It’s every pet owner’s worst nightmare: you leave your dog alone in the yard for a few minutes, and when you go to the door to call him inside: silence.

Or maybe you’re enjoying an evening stroll together when a truck rumbles past, your pup gets spooked, and he slips his collar in a moment of panic.

The team here at Atlas Pet Co. knows exactly how you feel, so we put together the best tips to make sure you never lose your best friend out there in the wild.

We spend a lot of time thinking about how to fuel up for our next adventure. Whey or soy protein in our green juice? How do I choose an energy bar with a low-glycemic index? Should we be ingesting those weird gel pack thingies?

But what about your four-legged activity partner? Active dogs can benefit from a few key supplements in their diet, too. We consulted some experts to find out what you can do to help your dog fuel up for his next big adventure.
