Shop Dog Camping Gear
Does Fido accompany you when you head into the wilderness for a camping adventure? If so, then you know the importance of investing in dog camping gear to make the adventure safe and memorable for everyone.
Camping with dogs is fun for the whole family. Make a checklist of camping with dogs essentials so that you don't forget to pack things like a portable dog bowl, dog tie outs, and of course a dog sleeping bag.
There are plenty of dangers for dogs around the campsite, so make sure you keep them nearby and secured. Standard dog tie outs can leave your tripping over the cord, so try an aerial dog run like the Ruffwear Knot-A-Hitch instead. For smaller dogs, an exercise pen is a great tool for keeping your dog corralled.
When packing for an overnight camping trip with your dog don’t forget the Ruffwear Highlands Sleeping Bag. The bed’s design keeps your dog warm at night with a polyester shell and synthetic down insulation. The dog sleeping bag unzips to form a large bed for your dog to sprawl at the end of the long day of fun. When it comes time to stow the bag, it easily compresses for quick packing.
Camping with your dog is the perfect summertime activity, but make sure you are prepared for the weather. To cool down your hot dog, try a dog cooling bandana
. Simply wet the gear and the evaporating water will draw out body heat.
Another pro tip for camping with dogs is to bring along some clean up gear. You can't stop your dog from getting dirty (that's half the fun!), but you can pack some tools like the Kurgo Mud Dog Travel Shower and a bar of Life Force Natural Dog Shampoo. And don't forget to dry him off with the Ruffwear Dirtbag Dog Towel.
Dogs don't always appreciate the relaxing practice of sitting around a campfire with some brews, so make sure to bring along some fun dog toys to keep your dog from getting bored. Bring toys that best suit your activities, like fetch dog toys, floating dog toys, and some puzzle dog toys for when your dog needs some solo playtime.
