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 some time now and they are just lovely! They are also inexpensive and simple to store, carry, and pitch. Apart from their size, there really 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 simple cleaning and they make them secure so your puppies will not wander off at night. They also are sufficiently small to fit within your tent if you wanted.
Dog sleeping bags are reasonably new and many of us would not even consider buying one because of our belief that dogs are naturally rigged to handle most climate conditions. There are others that would feel better off realizing that their pet was wrapped up just as firmly as they are. There are some designs that I consider unique like the ones called Alpine Sleepers. They're a mix of a sleeping bag and a travel bed. The boffom is nice and cozy and the top is a blanket that is attached to the base with buttons. If the dog doesn't want to be wrapped tightly, then you can simply unsnap the buttons. Other dog sleeping bags provide a mixture of great comfort and machine washable material. You could also think about using sleeping bags that were designed for small children.
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 might suggest looking into adding gear for your pet to your camping list. Our litle pets are definately worth it!
