Those among us with four-legged family members have to consider what to do with them when we are planning our family vacations. Camping is one of sort of get away where the majority feel pretty ok with bringing along their pets. With just the basic camping gear, you can accomodate your pet but their is lots of gear out there that was designed especially for them. Taking a look at the varied pet items that you could add to your camping gear checklist could be worth the time.
Dog tents have been out for a bit now and they are just lovely! They also are inexpensive and straightforward to store, carry, and pitch. Aside from their size, there truly isn't much of a difference between a dog tent and a human one. Most manufacturers do make the tent floor at least partly detachable for straightforward cleaning and they make them secure so your puppies will not wander off at night. They also are sufficiently little to fit within your tent if you wanted.
Dog sleeping bags are fairly new and many individuals wouldn't even consider purchasing one due to our belief that dogs are naturally set to handle most weather conditions. There are others that would feel better off knowing that their furry friend was wrapped up just as tightly as they are. There are some designs that I consider unique like the ones called Alpine Sleepers. They seem to be a combination of a sleeping bag and a travel bed. The boffom is nice and comfy and the top is a blanket that's attached to the base with buttons. If the dog does not want to be wrapped firmly, then you can simply unsnap the buttons. Other dog sleeping bags provide a mix of great comfort and simple material. You may also consider using sleeping bags that were designed for little kids.
Another piece of camping equipment you might need to consider buying for your dog is a pet push-chair! You heard right, I announced a pet push-chair. These are obviously not necessary for all pets except for those among us who've elderly pets, really small pets, or untrained puppies, they could make your hiking trips much easier.
Overall, I'd suggest looking into adding equipment for your pet to your camping list. Our litle furry friends are definately worthwhile!
