Top Dog Camping Gear For 2024
Before You Go Dogsploring
Traveling with your dog is getting more and more popular. And with the information and products we can access nowadays, it’s so much easier than ever before!
However there are some things to consider before you head off into the wild yonder that might make your trip way easier.
What mode of transport are you taking?
Dog friendly road trips are lots of fun in themselves! Your dog may even love to hang his head out of a fast moving car window. Or perhaps your pup is new to car travel? Either way, there’s no time like right now to plan a road trip with your dog.
Plan ahead by taking your dog for some practice car rides. Get him comfortable with his car restraint. Note the things that your dog needs on these trips and add them to a packing list.
Public transport is a whole other kettle of fish! Each mode of public transport has its own regulations. Make yourself familiar with these before embarking on your journey.
Tip: Don’t forget to note the time between doggie bathroom breaks – this is super important no matter what kind of transportation you choose.
Where will you sleep?
Are you camping with your dog? Staying in pet friendly accommodation? It’s important to think about the kind of bedding you’ll both need.
Traveling with your dog can be tiring so restful nights are high on the priority list!
Does your pooch have special needs?
An up to date vet check and a well thought out packing list will go a long way to making your trip smooth sailing. A dedicated dog travel bag is a great idea to keep all of your dog’s essentials in one place.
Where/what will your eat?
It wont be long until you and your dog are famished and need a quick snack to stave off hunger. Be prepared with transportable dog treats and make a plan for your own meals and snacks.
Is your dog well trained?
A disobedient dog can turn the best dog friendly travel plans into a wolfing nightmare! All the trip planning in the world isn’t going to help when you lose your dog in the wilderness or he barks all night long. Take the time to implement some basic training with your dog such as crate training and leash walking. The benefits will be enormous and make your trip way more fun!
