Camping with Your Dog: A Checklist
Camping is better with dogs. Dogs have a way of reminding you to savor the small joys, to take in your surroundings one sense at a time, slow down or speed up, be here now, and provide a sixth sense (and 5 others 10 times sharper than yours) that can come in very handy when out in the wilderness.
Like any adventure, camping with your dogs will need some planning, and in order to make the most out of it and make it an enjoyable experience for all, there are some basic items we shouldn’t leave home without.
Whether your dog is a seasoned camper, or you are planning your first adventure with your brand new puppy, I hope this is useful to you, and may it enhance your camping experience for years to come.
Don’t leave home without…
CalmEze Plus Tablets
I.D. tags/contact information
First aid kit
Leash, collar, and harness + an extra leash
P**p bags or shovel
Food and water bowls
Food/treats and proper food storage
Safety Light
Puzzle/food dispensing toy or chew
Mat or soft crate/tent
Tick/mosquito/flea repellent
Bell (Depending on where you go, you may come across wildlife. A small bell attached to your dog’s pack or harness helps alert wildlife of your presence and give them a chance to scurry.)
