I take a first aid kit with me,, which includes for sure vet wrap, and a saline wash solution, Benadryl etc.

I also take water and a water bowl, and treats/food. A whistle as well.

An extra collar and lead just in case.

If you are camping out in Sept - well at least here you need to be prepared for very cool to cold nights - so a sweater for your doggie might be advisable.

Heat exhaustion can happen and relatively quickly as well. I pulled over just today to the side of the road, because I saw a dog on a lead who was obviously over-heated - the two girls had no clue. I exited my car, I always travel with water and a water bowl, and said I think your dog needs to rest in the shade and needs some water. May I give him some?

So he lapped up the water, and I said stay here for at least 15 minutes let him drink and keep him in the shade.

Know where the nearest vet is, just in case.

I don't know about over the chest carriers I have never used one.
