Hey everybody, it’s Caroline here! Last week, Kory and I went on our first overnight camping stay with our dog, Mora. Let me tell you that was an adventure, one we realized wasn’t as easy as we thought it would be, so I decided to let you all know the top three items that really helped us out!
Top Three Things To Bring When Camping With Your Dog:
- The best thing we ever invested in for camping with your dog is hands down the waist leash. Being handsfree was awesome, and you can put it around a tree to have a tie out for when you are setting up camp. When we were hiking, it was nice to know I had Mora and be able to use both of my hands as well.
- The next spot on our list goes to food storage for your pup. Our set up is two stainless steel food storage containers. We take the large one and nestle the next largest in it, filled with Mora’s food, we use the largest for water when we get to where we are going!
- The last one is very important, and that is how you can protect your dog from the bugs! Certain biting bugs carry diseases that are harmful to our furry friends, not to mention they are just irritating and can ruin anyone’s good time. For Mora we use Nexgard, but there are other options, such as the Seresto Collar. They also make a natural bug spray for dogs that helps to keep the mosquitos away. Chews and collars usually only keep fleas and ticks away, but keeping mosquitos away is just as important.
Taking your dog camping with you is fun for both of you. Having a waist leash, food storage containers and bug protection for your pup are going to take the experience above and beyond for you both! With these three items, you and your dog will enjoy camping together for many years to come! What are your must-haves when you take your dog camping? Leave them in the comments below!
