 Higgins was a full-timer!
Higgins grew up in campgrounds because we lived in a fifth wheel and travelled all over. We recently settled down in a house, but then bought a small motorhome to get away now and then.
Sounds like you are pretty well prepared, but thought I would add the following:
Take a complete health record showing all shots. Make sure they are up to date. Many campgrounds require this.
Also take any meds, such as heartworm and flea/tick preventatives.
We take two leashes so there is one on each side door pocket. Easier.
IMPORTANT: Please be a good camper and take plastic bags to pick up the poop!
Make sure that he has a tag identifying him. Higgins has his name and our cell phone number on it. He is also chipped.
If your dog is a puppy or tiny one, keep an eye out for raptors! Vultures won't bother them, but hawks and owls love 'em.
If you are walking him in the campground and a larger dog approaches (even a leashed one), pick him up fast.
Camping is a wonderful way to socialize your dog! And a great way to meet other campers and other Yorkies. Be sure and tell 'em about YT.
Have fun! We're heading out on Monday to watch Endeavour lift off and Higgins will be with us! |
