- Going on a camping trip with your dog? We bet you know to take basics like food and water and a dog bed, but Dr. Sarah Wooten shares a packing list and safety tips you might not have thought of. Check out her new video, and learn more at vetstreet.com.
Much of these expert advices applies to children.
i'm just picturing all the children tied to trees at their campsites LOL
Thanks for the video. For years now I've taken my larger Pom camping and he loves it. For winter camping, a nice barrier and bed do help make them more comfortable. My dog actually uses a doggie sleeping bag for cold weather and loves sleeping in late in his bag...
The dog tag tip was a good one! Should've said that in my video!
Thanks for this great post, looking forward to more!
some good tips, particularly the temp tags. woud work for some people.
Brilliant advice
do not let your dog drink lake water we actually had a dog pass because of it
thats sad for you and your dog thanks for the info
Don't let your dog drink from a lake, if it's a still lake, or a lake with a bunch junk and gunk in it.
She put water purifier I the lake water to make it safe
Winter Fox
Studies show that dogs that ingest H20 have a 100% mortality rate.
I wouldn’t risk it
*make sure your dogs are vaccinated, on flea & tick and heart worm (prevents other intestinal parasites), and don't let them drink water with excessive algae in it 🙃 my dog swims in our lake and it's filthy and she's perfectly fine.
First dog I’ve seen walk normal with shoes on
Once dogs get used to wearing boots, they walk normally whenever they're wearing them.
positive conditioning :)
Great tip! :)
These no-nonsense tips seem common sense, but it's amazing how many videos I watch with people camping with dogs where the pup has no (or minimal) gear. The human will have layers of clothing and raincoats and boots hats special food etc. while the doggo gets soaked and is expected to just be okay. This gives me hope though. It's thanks to people like Matthew Posa and NutnFancy that I know anything about really camping with dogs!! #cheers
Never let your dog wander around the campground, no matter how friendly it might be - it's extremely rude to everyone else in the campground; also, some people really don't like dogs, and some people are afraid of them; worst case scenario, someone might even complain about your dog so bitterly to the rangers that they tell you to leave. Keep the dog out of others' sites and under your control while in the campground - anything less is extremely rude and irresponsible.

Nah
u gay
Also...Nah
Calm down
I’m taking my 13yr old terrier and 12 week old mastiff/mal camping this week. Wish me luck. We made temp. ID cards with camp info, 15 foot lead, lots and lots and lots of toys… 😅
Nice video!
I'm going to a campground so it's not like I will run out of water or food. (There's a camp shop there as all of the other campgrounds I went to have had.)
My Lab use to wear booties in the house as she got older (only on the back feet). The house was almost all hardwood, & she use to slip on it without them. She go use to them pretty quick.
I love your videos! I am striving for ultralight within a reasonable budget & durability. I have a 90lb lab who sleeps in my tent with me. I am shopping for a new tent and want a ultralight (3lbs or less) and hopefully some durability which can be tough for ultralight. Could you please provide suggestions for a 2 person 2 door tent for me & Yoshi? Thank you! 🏕🌞😊
make sure you grind their toenails well no matter what kind of tent you get. Are you using siltarp now or polyester? Big Agnes has many options, great quality
My dog is going to be 12 next month and this is what I want to do is take her on camping trips she loves the outdoors and has never needed a leash she's half heeler and collie so shes always been smart and loyal..my work schedule is very tight and hardly have any time to take her for her walks etc. But from here on out I'm getting a tent and takin fishin gear and we're gonna do some campin. She's gonna love it it's gonna be a lot of fun catchin some fish and hangin out with my best friend by the camp fire and grilling up some good food. In Texas camping is better when the temperature is colder. No mosquitoes to deal with and don't need ac unit just a few thick blankets, pillows and tent. Cell phone on off
Don't forget to put your dogs Social Security number and her doggie insurance information. You should also have a spare set of dog prints and a current photo on hand in case of dog napping, and don't forget to make a note of what your dog was wearing when last seen. I also bring a set (4) of doggie high heels in case we go out to dinner after. She loves the Red ones! ( extreme sarcasm) Jezzzz
FLsheepdog1 I died laughing !!! ♥️😂😂😂
Tbh some dog owners do this lol
No need for sarcasm. Different dogs and dog owners have different needs in order to be comfortable.
almost all of that is legit when you're crossing borders with your dogs
ppl who really go everywhere with their dogs feel me
So basically bring everything you normally use at home? How much do you think I can carry?
how do you prevent them from tearing your tent ground cover with nails ?
YOU HAVE A FUNNY DOG
I think this video is paid by dog’s supplies and food companies
wow.
Just have your mobile number on the dog tag.
If that was the only thing on there, it would be useless if you don't have any reception where you're going. Just saying.
@@SnowySpiritRuby piece of duct tape on the collar with campsite # will do the trick !
@@pbakai182 And if the number rubs off? Unless you mean embroidering the number into the duct tape, not writing it on.
Why does alma have a head halter when they are a training tool and you can easily ween them off when she walk perfectly in the video
Nice Video.... But why the thing on its mouth? Can Alva breath? Dogs loose heat trough the ir mouth if you close the ir mouth they can get a heat stroke
It’s just a head halter
If she put the head collar or head halter whatever you want to say she can breath its a TRAINING TOOL to help TRAIN dogs to walk without pulling not for a perfectly good walker to use even if she used it before you can ween them off it and she should start doing that.
The dog is wearing a Gentle Leader - it's a training tool, and if adjusted correctly, the dog can still open its mouth all the way. It's exactly like a halter on a horse - loose enough to let the horse eat and open its mouth all the way, but it provides a means of effective communication, and therefore control/direction.
What about ticks how do you stop or prevent those
you could bring tick spray or shampoo
Soresto flea/tick collars and a good comb to check for any ticks. I've used them going on 3 years with my dog. I'm a Wilderness Field Instructor, and spend half my life in the field. My dog comes to work with me, and I've never had an issue using these methods.
Where is this camp sight?
Horsetooth Reservoir in Fort Collins, CO

A www its shoes tho 😚😂❤️
What kind of dog is Alva?
Thanks!
I have a service dog and she’s a toy breed for medical alert reasons and I live with mountion lions bobcats cougars puma cyotes and I was getting ready for bed at night when I heard that something was on the outside of my house circling it and seeing the cougar for myself not great and my oldest sister saw one circle her yurt and I take living in the country safty perconsions very seriously I pottyed trained my dog to use pee pads at night and I’m so glad I did because after word I make it clear that’s She’s in after sunset
that’s a good idea…I always take my puppy out on a lead at night incase there are wild friends
YOU SHOULD BRING A CAT CAMPING WITH YOU . MY WIFE AND I DO . OUR CAT LOVES CAMPING , SHE EVEN GOES SWIMMING IN THE WARMEST PART OF THE SUMMER .
John H YES!!! I have a cat and I want to do that with her!
Not bringing coyote food
So put the dog in the bearbox?
I like all these tips but the one where you have the number of the campground you’re staying at on the dogs collar is rather impractical if you’re traveling from cam ground to camp ground 😅
1:28, what is the definition of this, "train?" Not training, right?
She said “Terrain.” She just didn’t enunciate it well!
@@Hayliehomemaker Ha, yes. 😂 Thank you.
How about Lars Monsen. He let his Huskies sleep outside of the tent in a - 40 C snow storm.
My dog does not have shoes and probably never will but i have been some places in California it and Arizona where the ground is hot as a frying pan. We wouldn’t know cause we don’t walk barefoot any more.
When I take Noodles (100lb Lab mix) camping he eats what I eat. I whole-heartedly disagree that your pet dogs must eat "dog food" and that people food is bad for them. Some things that people eat are bad but a majority of it is not harmful. My decision to feed my dogs both people food and dog food is based on the quality of life over quantity of life. I mean, on average a dog will live only about 14 years. I believe in cramming as many happy life experiencing moments for my dogs that I can in only fourteen years. Eating people food seems to be about the best thing in the world from my dog's point of view.
That's how I do it too
I don't think that dog food is the only thing they should eat either! It's just my dog gets spoiled and won't eat her own food. But i 100% agree that if your dog wont just beg you for your food all the time when they have their own food they can eat that human food is good too :)
I put our vehicle's license plate number on their personal tags, too.
lmfao, why
i put my tyre pressure & type of car oil i use on my dogs neck
Wow... I wonder how dogs ever survived the outdoors... Can't even walk without shoes...
We always bring booties in case of an injury or obvious wear. They are only cotton cloth or cordura. We certainly don't have them wear booties the whole time though.
Most of those is irrelevant here in FL
Okay this is slightly excessive and I am a crazy dog lady. A jacket? Booties? The only time I make my dogs wear booties is when it's hot and they'll be walking on sand.
Some breeds of dogs have short or single coats - a good portion of the double coated dog breeds were bred as retrievers and/or to work in very cold climates, so many can often get by without an additional coat except in really cold conditions. Other breeds originated in much warmer or desert climates, and therefore don't have thick heavy coats designed for cold weather - if taking one of those dogs camping, it might be a good idea to bring a coat for them. HOWEVER, it's up to each owner to decide whether or not to bring a coat for their dog: they will know whether or not their dog gets cold easily, and they will make their own decision based on that. My best friend has a lab/collie mix, and she doesn't really get cold, even in winters here in the Rockies, but another friend of mine has a chihuahua that gets very cold very easily, and so he wears a sweater or jacket a lot of the time; one dog is breeds that were developed to be able to deal with cold wet weather and cold sea water, and the other one is a breed developed to be able to deal with the heat in the hot climate of Mexico - do the math.
Walking/running on rough terrain for long periods can also damage their pads/make them sore, so it's for protection, in this case from the type of surface, rather than the temperature of the surface. Many dog owners will also have their dog(s) wear boots in the winter to keep the salt on the roads etc. from getting into the dog's paws and/or to give the dogs traction on ice.
bruh she said bleach
If you drink or cook with tap water, it has bleach in it :)
Well He's A Male And A Big Dog Too He's A Belgian Malinois
... and hire a Sherpa to carry all the equipment
If i tie the lead eny where my dog is going to to start crying and barking because she wants to be with me 😐🙄😏
How should I store my dogs caviar? Should I ask the campground if they offer outdoor catering instead?
Oh lord...this is some nervous Nelly stuff right here...Oatmeal want's two no if ewe put a helmet on your dog as well?...We would not enjoy "camping" with ewe. My dog is "fearful under the stars"...LOL
It’s ducking 80 degrees Karen, I don’t think your dog is going to get hypothermia
It can be 80+ degrees during the day but still get below freezing at night in the desert and the mountains, so yes, it IS possible to get hypothermia in the middle of the summer. I'm a certified Wilderness First Responder, and if anything happens and the person (it probably applies to dogs, too, particularly those without double coats) is unable to move on their own, hypothermia is a very real anticipated problem in all but the very warmest weather, no matter where you are.
Even a light rain will be enought to do it if the tent have a thin floor.
It's gotten crazy. Dogs can't drink lake water. They eat carrots and green beans. Wear dog shoes...We're raising a buncha Yuppies !
Or just let your dog run off leash. They enjoy that the most.
0:52 Why do you have a harness wrapped around that dog's face to keep its mouth closed? Utter cruelty.
Shoes?? Really?
Heels aren't appropriate, come on! This is camping.
Probably overkill for this kind of camping and/or chill hiking, but prolonged hikes through rocky, hilly terrain can be pretty hard on even dog feet.
I don't have a dog need dog
+Madeline Schoppenhorst Remember.....dog spelled backwards is GOD
inkey2 cat spelled backwards are jesus
Heck, they're dogs. They'll do fine with just food, water, leash, bed, and you as company. I just let my little dog wander around and follow me when we go for a hike. Ain't need for a leash, just let them be dogs and explore with freedom. Of course always bring a leash just in case. I also think making them carry their backpacks are useless. All U need is a leash and some water on ya and a first aid kit for you and you buddy. Like I said, just let them follow you freely. It's not fun for them when you gotta hold the lead tight. And at night just let him sleep in the tent with you. Maybe not next to u, but like at your feet or something. Trust me, i love dogs and owned one, I know. I'm sure u can do the same with bigger dogs.
Also booties are bullshit. Tf
don't know about US but here in the UK all dogs have to be on a lead at all times on campsites and along side roads
If you're going to be going anywhere that the dog might encounter any wildlife that might do anything other than just run/fly away (birds, squirrels, chipmunks, rabbits, etc.), keeping them on a leash/close by is extremely important: porcupines, skunks, raccoons, bears, mountain lions, rattle snakes, wolves, etc. are all things that can be very real hazards for your dog (which ones are applicable depends on where you're going camping) and are *_NOT_* to be trifled with.
When did dogs become so artificial? Dogs didn't evolve as pampered robots. Dogs like humans should not be camping in the first place if they need all these things.
wtf is up with you wrapping your leash around your dog's snout? how bout just train the dog properly so you don't need to do that
It's a head halterand it's not a muzzle but it's for training
It's a Gentle Leader, not a leash - it's a training tool.
This is so bad!
This is some better tips!
Bring one bowl-for food and water
Dogs don't need shoes they are totally fine without them
Dogs don't need clothes they have a fur coat
Dogs don't need their own first aid kit because if a dog cuts itself poor some clean water on it or just use a human one
Trinity Jackson On the contrary, I think you're the one that's shaken.
Trinity Jackson have you ever gone camping with them though?
Dogs with a short coat can get cold easily will benefit from a dog sweater or something to keep them warmer. It's kind of self explanatory..
Trinity Jackson you have no idea if you have more experience than anyone here
Probably depends on the dog and the climate. Myself I've never put any kind of clothes on a dog. But we don't take little fragile type dogs out for long periods of time in extreme weather. Now the Hound dogs my Dad had when I was growing up seemed to be able to handle almost anything.
i stepped in dog shit once
bleach in water? yuck
Its in your tap water. Thats what they use to sterilize municipal water supplies too.
All this applies to untrained dogs
What an awful woman.
here is a tip , leave your dog at home with friends etc. having them run around camping areas , barking and stuff is bad. we want to get away from things like unruly dogs .
Wanted to see your video, but what pops up ???? Another fucking ad. Thumbs down !!!!!
I'm getting sick just listening to this lady
Lost me on the jacket and shoes. Dogs are not humans.
This is so liberal... just stay at starbucks... leave the camping to real americans
I'm liberal, and I spend more time in the woods than you. Foh with that nonsense
Im sorry, but this is commercial. And the girl in the video is lying!!!!
