Vet Checks Before Race Day

My video files of this event are too large to upload to this blog.  
I will have to capture the Beargrease through still photos instead.


A team of veterinarians and vet students evaluate every dog.  A notebook is carried by each musher.  Vets make notes if dogs are showing signs of being sore, dehydrated, or have any health concerns.

The pads of the feet are checked.  These little paws do a lot of work!
