Long days spent outside may be pleasantly warm but not unbearably hot, and it\u2019s easier to keep your doggo comfortable and cool. Take a look at our tips for camping with pets to help make sure it\u2019s a fun and successful trip.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-4388\" src=\"https:\/\/www.interactcp.com\/blog\/funtownrvcom\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/09\/dog-1313241_1280-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"camping with pets\" width=\"940\" height=\"626\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.interactcp.com\/blog\/funtownrvcom\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/09\/dog-1313241_1280-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.interactcp.com\/blog\/funtownrvcom\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/09\/dog-1313241_1280-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.interactcp.com\/blog\/funtownrvcom\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/09\/dog-1313241_1280.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 940px) 100vw, 940px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Before the Trip<\/h3>\n<p>If your fur baby isn\u2019t used to road trips, it\u2019s time to help them acclimate. Long stretches of time in a vehicle can trigger motion sickness, or even anxiety. Thankfully, these are relatively easy fixes. Ask your vet for gentle treatments that can help settle your dog\u2019s tummy and nerves. Also, another way to prepare them is to take them on shorter distances (around the block, up and down the road) frequently.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-4389\" src=\"https:\/\/www.interactcp.com\/blog\/funtownrvcom\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/09\/dog-1912874_1280-1024x907.jpg\" alt=\"camping with pets\" width=\"940\" height=\"833\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.interactcp.com\/blog\/funtownrvcom\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/09\/dog-1912874_1280-1024x907.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.interactcp.com\/blog\/funtownrvcom\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/09\/dog-1912874_1280-300x266.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.interactcp.com\/blog\/funtownrvcom\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/09\/dog-1912874_1280.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 940px) 100vw, 940px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>And speaking of the vet, this is the time to get your pet microchipped if they aren\u2019t already. Microchipping greatly increases your chances of reuniting with your pet on the off chance they get loose, which is all the worse if you\u2019re in unfamiliar territory.<\/p>\n<h3>Say Cheese<\/h3>\n<p>Another way that helps reunite pet owners with their missing pets is having photos on hand of their pet that are clear and well lit. You probably have dozens of photos of your pet on your phone already, but make sure to get some that are current, and specifically are taken from different angles like front facing, the side, and anything that shows off specific markings.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-4390\" src=\"https:\/\/www.interactcp.com\/blog\/funtownrvcom\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/09\/pedigree-216112_1280-958x1024.jpg\" alt=\"camping with pets\" width=\"940\" height=\"1005\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.interactcp.com\/blog\/funtownrvcom\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/09\/pedigree-216112_1280-958x1024.jpg 958w, https:\/\/www.interactcp.com\/blog\/funtownrvcom\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/09\/pedigree-216112_1280-281x300.jpg 281w, https:\/\/www.interactcp.com\/blog\/funtownrvcom\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/09\/pedigree-216112_1280.jpg 1198w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 940px) 100vw, 940px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Know (and Follow!) The Rules<\/h3>\n<p>Check the campground policies for their rules regarding pets. This probably includes topics like the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Waste removal\/cleaning up after your pet<\/li>\n<li>Leash policies<\/li>\n<li>Noise ordinances, especially after a curfew time<\/li>\n<li>Aggression policies<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This is your opportunity to take an honest look at the rules and how they will affect your pet, or if they will be a hardship. If you\u2019re staying at a family campground and your pet doesn\u2019t like kids, you might need to pick a campground not geared toward families with young children. Or, if you have a dog who loves to bark and yap (even playfully!), look for a campground whose noise policies are generous and forgiving.<\/p>\n<h3>Pack Their Stuff, Too!<\/h3>\n<p>Your pet is part of your family \u2013 so packing for them means bringing along more than just food and treats. Make sure to pack any meds they\u2019re currently taking and a pet first aid kit, which your vet can make suggestions for. Other must-bring items are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Your dog\u2019s favorite toys<\/li>\n<li>Leash<\/li>\n<li>Pet waste removal bags<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-4387\" src=\"https:\/\/www.interactcp.com\/blog\/funtownrvcom\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/09\/dog-1561011_1280-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"camping with pets\" width=\"940\" height=\"626\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.interactcp.com\/blog\/funtownrvcom\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/09\/dog-1561011_1280-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.interactcp.com\/blog\/funtownrvcom\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/09\/dog-1561011_1280-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.interactcp.com\/blog\/funtownrvcom\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2021\/09\/dog-1561011_1280.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 940px) 100vw, 940px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Pet Friendly RVs<\/h3>\n<p>When you\u2019re shopping for a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.funtownrv.com\/rv-search?s=true\">new or used RV<\/a>, it\u2019s important that the unit you choose is just right for everyone in your family \u2013 including your fur baby!
