Pet dogs can make great camping companions. But it is essential that you have all of the appropriate dog camping gear on hand in order to ensure their comfort during their adventure.
Sleeping bags provide your dog with relief during hot or cold temperatures, while tents designed specifically for dogs offer claw-proof shelter that's easy to set up.

Sleeping bags for dogs provide a cozy place for your pup to rest when camping or traveling; they're also handy during road trips, outdoor concerts and beach visits.
Many sleeping bag options come in multiple sizes to accommodate for various breeds of dog. When searching, look for water-resistant options if your pup will be exposed to rain or dew.
Consider your dog's sleeping habits and when camping. Does she prefer curled up or sprawled out sleeping positions? When selecting a sleeping bag for them, be mindful of both these elements.
Leash
Leashes for your dog are an integral component of camping gear for their safety and yours, and many campgrounds require that all dogs remain leashed at all times for the sake of all campers and your pet alike.
Long leashes or cables are also useful tools for providing your pet the freedom they need at your campsite, without fear of them getting caught in trees or equipment. Setup is quick and reduces risk.
Collar
Be it camping in a tent or an RV, be sure your dog's collar is sturdy enough to withstand ripping and tearing, as well as reflective or light-up options so you can stay on track of him throughout his travels. Adding reflective features may also help in keeping an eye out for him on those long camping excursions!
If you're camping in an area where wildlife could roam freely, adding microchip information and identification tags on their collar may also be beneficial. Also consider including a clip-on safety light on their collar as another great solution.
Water Bowl
Travel can involve strenuous physical activities for dogs, so keeping them hydrated is crucial. This no-spill travel bowl features an innovative no-spill design to dispense water on demand and features a screw-off cap which doubles as a pet water bottle.
Accidents happen, and this kit provides everything needed to treat them until your vet can come. It even features a tracking device in case your pet runs away on a hike without you and cannot be located.
No-Spill Slobber Stopper
Add a no-spill dog water bowl to your camping gear for maximum peace of mind, helping prevent post-drink slobber and spillage from happening! These compact bowl-bottle hybrids are specially designed for travel and can be easily disassembled to be cleaned afterwards.
When heading outdoors with your pup, a glow collar will keep them visible even in low light conditions and could save their life in case of emergency.
Healing balm can provide your pet's paw pads with much-needed moisture and softening properties, helping reduce irritation and itching that often occur outdoors.
No-Pull Pet Harness
A no-pull harness can make walks much more enjoyable and safe for both you and your dog, with consistent training aimed at getting him or her to stop pulling on the leash.
This front-hook harness tightens around your dog's chest when they pull, redirecting their attention back towards you and keeping them from running away or dragging you along the trail. Our testers were particularly pleased that it was easy to adjust for a snug fit and contained reflective panels for increased safety.
RV Heater Alert
Temperatures inside an RV can quickly soar, endangering both you and your pets. High temps can cause heat stroke in as little as 15 minutes. RV Whisper Monitoring makes monitoring easy - log each sensor data value and display timestamps to easily view current readings instead of ones from two hours ago; powered via USB, no shore power connection necessary!
