Camping isn’t something I do much of personally, but it’s not that I don’t like camping – not at all actually – it’s just that I don’t get the opportunity to do it much and the summer (for me) is a VERY busy time so it’s really tough to set out and get a weekend to do it.

That said, if I were to go camping I would most certainly bring my hounds – or at least I think I would. Obviously I’d have to have them tied up at all times, but I really think they would love all the new smells and everything that goes along with it.

Probioticsmart.com listed a bunch of great camping tips when bringing your pet, so I’ll post the topics here, but please go to the site here to read the particulars:

Before you leave

1. Get  a “Pre-Camping Physical”
2. Bring a Pet First-Aid Kit
3. Ensure that Travel Tags Are Up to Date

While on the road

1. Restrain Your Pet
2. Don’t Leave Your Pet Alone in your Vehicle

While Camping

1. Bring Plenty of Food and Water
2. Allow Your Pet Time to become Comfortable
3. Clean Up after your Pet
4. Respect the Campers Around You

There are also some great tips in the comments section as well which are pretty important to take heed of. So instead of the most exciting thing for them this summer being dressed up in baby halloween costumes in the fall, perhaps I’ll take my hounds camping!!
