Five Best Camping Supplies for Dogs – Watching for Your Pet’s Health and Comfort While Camping

Updated on November 3, 2010

If you’re going on a camping trip with your four-legged best friend, don’t forget to also ensure his comfort and security as much as yours in the outdoors. Dogs can be very trusty and valuable companions to have around during camping trips. They can sniff out things along the trail and keep your camp safe and alert against wild animals, thieves and other unwelcome guests. They can even save your life during accidents in the water because dogs are good swimmers. It can also be very amusing to watch your domestic pets’ reaction to the wild upon hearing new sounds and smelling new scents.

Before taking your dog with you on a camping trip, make sure that he has a collar with his name on it just in case it strays off and gets lost. It would also be good if you could have a seat belt for him while you’re on the road. Without something to keep him steady while you’re driving, he could get dizzy and mess up your whole vehicle. Finally, when you need to get out of the car and head for your camp site, put your dog on a leash before letting him come with you. This is to keep him from straying and running after new sights of things.

As much as your dog guards your camp, you also have to make sure that he’s healthy and comfortable so he stays in good shape. Some dog supplies you must never forget are his dog food, his bed, his tether, backpack and muzzle. Here are some great canine supplies to keep your dog healthy and happy.
