It’s been snowing here in Virginia already this year and yet I can’t help but think forward to camping season. And as everyone knows, to do camping right means having the right gear! So that got me thinking … What are some of my favorite camping and hiking items for my dog?
Karma loves his travel bed from Canine Hardware and I love that it comes with its own stuff sack. It’s machine washable and has poly suede on one side and rip stop on the bottom. I found it at Back Country K9 which has great gear of all kings for your traveling adventures.
Though we usually car camp, I still pack Karma’s gear in his own backpack from Ruff Wear. In the off season, I also use it for an occasional work out for him by adding just a couple pounds of weight on either side, making sure to keep the weight evenly distributed.
Finally, depending on the terrain you will be crossing, boots can be another must have item. Last year Karma got frostbite from playing in the snow too long and that resulted in us purchasing some Muttluks snow boots. We also bought some all-purpose boots for the summer for when the terrain takes a toll on his feet.
What better to put in a stocking than boots? Ha!
