Essential Equipment for Travels with Canines
Hey, pal! Hop on board this canine campervan caper! Who needs human pals when you've got your faithful pooch by your side for some road trips, national park excursions, or van life escapades? Remember, a little preparation goes a long way, so let's ensure you're equipped for the ultimate campervan adventure with your furry pal.
First things first: researching dog-friendly destinations is crucial. Not all outdoor locales welcome pets, so make sure your chosen parks and campgrounds allow furry visitors. Before setting off on your adventure, check their websites for clear pet policies. Once you've secured a pup-approved spot, it's time to hit the road!
The health and well-being of your furry buddy is crucial. Staying current on vaccines is essential, so pay a visit to the vet for a health check and medication refresh. Staying hydrated and fed during your journey is just as important for your pup as it is for you – keep the van well-stocked with water and kibble, especially if long stretches of road lie ahead without access to clean water or grub.
Choose the perfect campervan for you and your pooch. Our site offers various vans, some more spacious than others, like the Del Mar and the Mesa, which are fantastic choices for man's best friend. Make an informed decision by comparing van options before booking your ride. We welcome up to two pets with a $150 non-refundable fee (service animals are exempt from this fee). Don't forget to mention your pup when making a reservation to avoid an extra $250 charge, and remember that damages caused by your pet aren't covered by the cleaning fee.
To prepare for emergencies, consider purchasing a GPS collar to help locate your pooch if separated. A first aid kit for dogs is essential, whether you purchase a pre-made one or create your own using bandage supplies, Styptic Powder, and vet-approved probiotics.
Collapsible water and food bowls will save space in the van. Soft dog food containers are a great storage solution for miniature munchkins. Stock up on eco-friendly poop bags to follow Leave No Trace Principles and always clean up after your dog.
Flea and tick prevention is a must, while traveling with dogs. Topical treatments like Frontline Plus or flea and tick sprays are effective preventative measures. NexGard is a chewable alternative that treats tickets if your pooch gets bitten, but remember, your vet will likely need to prescribe these medications.
Temperature control is essential, depending on your destination. Cooling pads can help keep Fido chilled during the heat, while dog jackets and trail-friendly boots are ideal for cold-weather trips.
Hygiene is crucial on the road, right? A grooming kit with a quality brush, nail clippers, and other doggy hygiene essentials will help keep your ride clean, especially during longer trips.
