Pet Fitness Tips: Our Fave Pet Writers Talk Furry Fitness

Dr. V and Brody enjoy a sunny San Diego hiking trail. Well, mostly “enjoy.” Sometimes the going gets ruff.

Dr. Jessica Vogelsang: Or, as you might know her, Dr. V., is the veterinarian and writer behind Pawcurious. She’s known for providing a professional — but totally accessible — take on everything from pet food to toys to serious current events. And sometimes she just writes about her kitten. In addition to writing on her blog and contributing around the web, she’s finishing up her first book, is a practicing veterinarian at pet hospice program Paws Into Grace, and has taken part in multiple international volunteer trips with World Vets (after which, in one case, she climbed a the mountain she refers to below. True story.).

“I love trail running and hiking, and my dog is my perfect companion for the task. When I was preparing to hike Mt. Meru — a 14K peak in Africa, which I’ve never done before — Brody was my stalwart training companion. I couldn’t have done it without him!”
