One of the most exciting experiences that any pup can experience is camping. In addition to the fact that they are with their favorite human, they are also surrounded by new sights and smells, so much to explore! 

A very vital aspect to ensure before going camping is that their vaccinations are up to date. If you aren’t certain, then be sure to pay a visit to the vet. 

To enjoy a great camping experience without hitches, here’s a checklist to help:

• Prepare ahead 
• Keep your dog secure at all times 
• Ensure your dog is never left unattended

• Bring along a lot of water 
• Use appropriate gear 
• Do a test run 
• Have an up-to-date picture of your dog 
• Bring a first aid kit along 

Since you’re taking your dog camping, then you should plan fun activities ahead of time. This would be judicious use of the time and you can both make memories. Some dog-friendly activities that you can explore while camping include: 

• Hiking the trails present 
• Boating or kayaking 
• A picnic 
• A visit to the beach 
• Lots outdoor games 

It is important to find out beforehand whether the places that you would be visiting are dog-friendly. This is because certain establishments would not allow your fur baby in. For private trails, national parks, beaches, dining, and shopping centers, you would have to confirm that they allow pets. 

Also, take note of the leash laws wherever you are and when going on walks, bring along enough water and a leash. A dog waste bag is essential too.
