Whether your family members have two legs or four, you need to look after them when you go camping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This isn\u2019t quite as simple as just chucking some extra food in the car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You want your furry friend to enjoy their camping experience and have as much fun as you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add these dog camping essentials to your packing list to make sure nothing is left behind when you go camping with your canine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Top 10 Dog Camping Essentials<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. Collapsible Water Bowl<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019ve ever tried to give your dog a drink from your water bottle, then a collapsible bowl is likely to be high up your priority list when you\u2019re out and about with your dog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As they\u2019re pretty cheap, it\u2019s worth buying a few bowls that you can keep permanently with your camping and hiking gear so you don\u2019t risk leaving them behind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our favorite is the Bivy from Ruffwear<\/a> that even has a hang loop to attach to a caribiner on your packs or to hang dry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Food and Treats<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Dogs love being able to run around outdoors, but if they\u2019re getting more exercise than normal, you\u2019ll need to pack some extra food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dried food (kibble) is preferable to wet and only put out what your dog will eat as leaving food lying around could attract unwanted wildlife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re backpacking and looking for a lighter alternative to your dog\u2019s regular food, you can also buy freeze-dried dog food<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Doggy treats<\/a> are great for rewarding good behavior around the campsite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stock up on your pooch\u2019s favorites or make some homemade trail treats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
