What’s more fun than camping with your furry kiddo? It’s even better when your camping buddy likes cuddles, long walks, rolling around in the grass, and oh, those puppy eyes.
Sleeping under the stars with your beloved pet might be just what you need to refresh your mind and get a change of perspective. When it comes to camping or glamping, your backyard is the perfect go-to for a light adventure.
Let’s explore some tips on having a successful camping trip with your dog:
Bring Out the Tents
One for You
Find a flat surface in your backyard and set up the tent. Involve the entire family and have fun! No need to skip on the comfort. Make your tent as cozy as possible. Glam it up and spread air mattresses. You can even throw some fairy lights over your tent for added extravagance.
One for The Pup
Your dog can sleep with you if you prefer, but there are great dog-sized tents available to purchase if you don’t have one. The Scout & About Eclipse Outdoor Dog Tent or the Horizon Desert Teepee are some great options for your companion. Let your pup explore the tent and reward them when they sit inside comfortably. Bring out their favorite toys and a comfy blanket.
Plan Some Games
Here are some quick ideas for games that you can plan with your family and pup:
- Campfire stories: Take turns and tell stories one by one if there are more people; or you can collectively make one up. Your pup will enjoy listening to you laugh with the occasional treats and pets from everyone.
- Stargazing: Dogs love to stargaze! Lay on your back and encourage your pet to do the same. Talk to your pet while you try to figure out the constellations. What better way to bond with your furry best friend?
- Fetch/Catch: A good old game of fetch or catch never disappoints.
You can skip all the packing and buying expensive gear. Just pack some essentials and tents for you and your pupper, and you’re good to go. Stay hydrated and have fun!
