So im taking my girls camping? What all do i need?

Question

I am taking my dogs camping with me (this is my first time camping as well) what do i need to take? i mean i know food bowls and leashes but is there anything else? should i bring my tie out chains? they will be sleeping in the tent with us (theres 2 sections in the tent so they will sleep in the front and we will sleep in back) so what all do i need? if i bring a first aid for dogs what do i need to put in it?

Answer 1

I'de take their blankets, dog toys, leash, maybe a portable kennel (just incase they won't stay in tent), bowels,food,saline (to put on cuts), standard waterproof plasters and thats about it :)

Happy camping

Answer 2

Water more than anything, food, and I have seen survival (first aid kits for hunting dogs, etc...)  If you bring supplies for rugged terrains be sure to include your dog in it.  Make sure they have good leash (none with any rips/tears) tie outs/ chains and that they always have a clean, fresh COOL water with them.  Do not let them drink from any streams or lakes  they can catch Giardia/ other parisites from that water.(They might be stresed there and when you get back so do not worry if they do not eat as much but when you get home, within a day or two at the most they should resume their normal behavior). I suggest Google: camping with dogs, there you should find a multitude of resources.  Also, if your dogs are digger or chewers be sure that they are tied outside before you bring them into your tent.  They can chew right through your tent, escape and you not realize till dawn.  Just a word of advise there.  Have a great trip!
