Are you planning to bring your dog along on their first RV trip? From safe travel tips to campground activities, check out our advice for a smooth and enjoyable journey for both of you!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Create a packing list for your dog. As well as the usual food dishes, food, treats, leash, and waste bags, be prepared with a pet first-aid and grooming kit, towels and wipes for cleaning up messes, and a few familiar toys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Keep to your regular routine when it comes to bedtime. If your dog usually sleeps in your bed, allow the same in the RV, or if they usually sleep in a dog bed or crate, be sure to bring it along.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Have a safe place for your pet to ride during the trip to the campsite. Go with a secured carrier or crate,\u00a0\u00a0or a seat belt harness.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Try to provide the same amount of exercise that you typically do at home. Some RV parks and campgrounds have fenced-in, off-leash areas for traveling pups, or if you\u2019re staying at a provincial park, take advantage of the trails a nice long walk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Losing track of your dog while away from home is stressful. Remember to use your mobile number as the contact on their tag, and have a photo to show if you\u2019re out searching for an escaped pup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Follow all campsite leash and pet guidelines, and always pick up after your pet! While at the campground, consider a long leash or portable fence that will give your dog a comfortable space to roam, while keeping them safely in your site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
