Hiking Dog Co 3800 Merle Hay Road, Des Moines, IA 50310

"I recently found the Hiking Dog Co in Merle Hay Mall and I'm so glad I did! I have a small Aussiedoodle that is my hiking and camping buddy and it can be hard to find items that work for her. Iowa winters can be harsh but I purchased a Hurtta Expedition Parka for her. Love, love, love that coat! It's lightweight, very soft, with excellent coverage of her underside and has leash and harness connection points. I also picked up dog booties and wool hiking socks for me. I've shopped at REI for smartwool and Darn Tough Vermont wool socks and the HDC beat them hands down. I wore them on a multi-day, snowy hike in Voyageurs National Park, just by the Canadian border and they were super warm and extremely comfortable. I can't recommend the products sold there enough and the customer service is great, welcoming and pressure free. Super nice people. I've already gone back again."

"Hiking Dog Co. provided us with a terrific product, the Mudbuster Dog Paw Cleaner. Our 4-year old German Shepherd, Coco, has responded really well to having the mud cleaned off her paws. What a fine product to keep our carpets clean!"

"We passed thru Des Moines in the middle of Blizzard Elliot and at 0 degrees Fahrenheit, my London dog for once did not enjoy the snow. I tried a couple of corporate pet shops for shoes but all were sold out. Like a Christmas miracle, The Hiking Dog Co popped on a Google search but they were marked with a noon opening. Rang the number, Heather answered and invited us to the shop as she will come over early for some shoe fitting. This was the best shoe shopping in my life and a trip was saved with service and passion. I fully recommend this place and hopefully one day will be back. Thank you!"

"Having a dog training to be a Search and a Rescue dog requires a lot of equipment! Not only for the victims you find but for your dog when he/she gets injured! I bought the K9 first aid kit and added a couple more things on and it’s amazing!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!"
