Here are some tips for camping with your dog:
- Find a campsite that is pet-friendly.
- Ensure your dog’s vaccinations and flea and tick medications are up to date! It’s a good idea to have copies of your vaccination records just in case you need them while away.
- Ensure your dog has an up to date license and ID tags (and having your dog microchipped is a great idea as well).
- Pack a Pet First Aid Kit.
- Bring a leash and something to tie your dog up to.
- Pack portable water and food bowls. Be sure to remove any leftover dog food after mealtime, and store in a place which will not attract unwanted wildlife and insects.
- Ensure your pet has a bed and safe place to sleep with you while you are camping.
- And of course, don’t forget the poop bags.
- Have fun!
