Expert Tips for Camping With Your Dog

[ccrider]

Thanks for the video. For years now I've taken my larger Pom camping and he loves it. For winter camping, a nice barrier and bed do help make them more comfortable. My dog actually uses a doggie sleeping bag for cold weather and loves sleeping in late in his bag...

I’m taking my 13yr old terrier and 12 week old mastiff/mal camping this week. Wish me luck. We made temp. ID cards with camp info, 15 foot lead, lots and lots and lots of toys… 😅

Much of these expert advices applies to children.

“Quiet, low maintenance, and generally easy to please” I don’t think my dogs got the memo on that one

My dog is going to be 12 next month and this is what I want to do is take her on camping trips she loves the outdoors and has never needed a leash she's half heeler and collie so shes always been smart and loyal..my work schedule is very tight and hardly have any time to take her for her walks etc. But from here on out I'm getting a tent and takin fishin gear and we're gonna do some campin. She's gonna love it it's gonna be a lot of fun catchin some fish and hangin out with my best friend by the camp fire and grilling up some good food. In Texas camping is better when the temperature is colder. No mosquitoes to deal with and don't need ac unit just a few thick blankets, pillows and tent. Cell phone on off

These no-nonsense tips seem common sense, but it's amazing how many videos I watch with people camping with dogs where the pup has no (or minimal) gear. The human will have layers of clothing and raincoats and boots hats special food etc. while the doggo gets soaked and is expected to just be okay. This gives me hope though. It's thanks to people like Matthew Posa and NutnFancy that I know anything about really camping with dogs!! #cheers

"Canines are quiet, low-maintenance, and easy to please." Definitely has not met my dog 😂

I'm going to a campground so it's not like I will run out of water or food. (There's a camp shop there as all of the other campgrounds I went to have had.)

do not let your dog drink lake water we actually had a dog pass because of it

I love your videos! I am striving for ultralight within a reasonable budget & durability. I have a 90lb lab who sleeps in my tent with me. I am shopping for a new tent and want a ultralight (3lbs or less) and hopefully some durability which can be tough for ultralight. Could you please provide suggestions for a 2 person 2 door tent for me & Yoshi? Thank you! 🏕🌞😊

First dog I’ve seen walk normal with shoes on

So basically bring everything you normally use at home? How much do you think I can carry?

Never let your dog wander around the campground, no matter how friendly it might be - it's extremely rude to everyone else in the campground; also, some people really don't like dogs, and some people are afraid of them; worst case scenario, someone might even complain about your dog so bitterly to the rangers that they tell you to leave. Keep the dog out of others' sites and under your control while in the campground - anything less is extremely rude and irresponsible.

When I take Noodles (100lb Lab mix) camping he eats what I eat. I whole-heartedly disagree that your pet dogs must eat "dog food" and that people food is bad for them. Some things that people eat are bad but a majority of it is not harmful. My decision to feed my dogs both people food and dog food is based on the quality of life over quantity of life. I mean, on average a dog will live only about 14 years. I believe in cramming as many happy life experiencing moments for my dogs that I can in only fourteen years. Eating people food seems to be about the best thing in the world from my dog's point of view.

Don't forget to put your dogs Social Security number and her doggie insurance information. You should also have a spare set of dog prints and a current photo on hand in case of dog napping, and don't forget to make a note of what your dog was wearing when last seen. I also bring a set (4) of doggie high heels in case we go out to dinner after. She loves the Red ones! ( extreme sarcasm) Jezzzz

some good tips, particularly the temp tags. woud work for some people.

[vickynga]

Nice Video.... But why the thing on its mouth? Can Alva breath? Dogs loose heat trough the ir mouth if you close the ir mouth they can get a heat stroke

[RBFR]

Just have your mobile number on the dog tag.

My Lab use to wear booties in the house as she got older (only on the back feet). The house was almost all hardwood, & she use to slip on it without them. She go use to them pretty quick.
