Calling all human and canine campers! If you love spending time on an outdoor adventure with Fido, then you surely appreciate some camping tips. Here are some top tips on how to make the best out of your camping experience with your furry friend!<\/p>\n
The best thing about camping is being able to explore local spots. But, if you have your canine companion by your side, you\u2019ll need to make sure your destinations are dog-friendly. Do research about the area you\u2019re staying in, especially the campsite, trails, and parks around as sometimes dogs are not welcome! P.S. don\u2019t forget your doggie poop bags!<\/p>\n
One of the downsides of camping is having to deal with pesky bugs like ticks and fleas. And both, unfortunately, love dogs. Getting your dog a tick and flea protectant will help prevent any future medical concerns<\/a> that can come with one of these bugs. Ask your vet for their best parasite repellant recommendations!<\/p>\n Packing isn\u2019t always fun, but packing for your dog can certainly be a blast! Your dog will need their essentials while camping as they can\u2019t just \u201crough it\u201d as some human campers can. Be sure to pack:<\/p>\n Before going on a trip anywhere, you should take a trip to the vet for a check-up. Your dog needs to be updated on their vaccinations and has a clean bill of health before traveling! You may even need your pup\u2019s medical records depending on where you\u2019re traveling to\/visiting.<\/p>\n Camping can sometimes get wet, especially if you\u2019re staying near a body of water, expecting rain, or on a muddy campsite. Waterproof gear will be your second best friend on your trip, next to Fido! Consider getting your pooch<\/a> a raincoat, boots, and towel to dry off with.<\/p>\n If this is your dog\u2019s first time taking a camping trip or just traveling in general, it\u2019s normal for them to be nervous. You may want to practice getting them used to things like a tent, animal noises, riding in a car, etc. Try indoor camping for a night to mimic what an outdoor camping experience may be. You can even play some woody noises on a speaker. If your dog completely freaks out, camping may just not be for them!<\/p>\n Camping with your canine can be one of the best bonding experiences! You just have to take precautions and preparations before heading out into the wilderness. But, you\u2019re both sure to have the time of your lives and reconnect with the world around you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Calling all human and canine campers!
