First, let's check out how to choose a campsite recommended for camping with dogs.Be sure to choose a campsite that allows pets.
There are two types of campsites: free sites where you can freely choose your camping space, and divided sites where you use designated spaces.
Free sites offer a lot of freedom, but popular locations are first come, first served, so you need to reserve a spot early in the morning.
Therefore, if you are new to camping, we recommend a divided site that does not require a lot of space.If you make a reservation, you won't have to panic if you don't have space to pitch your tent or tarp.
If you are new to camping, it may take some time to set up your tent or tarp.In the meantime, your dog won't be bored if he just waits all the time.With a dog-free site, your dog can play freely while the site is being set up.
◆ Things to keep in mind when purchasing a tent for camping with dogs ◆
Some tents rented at campgrounds do not allow pets.Please be sure to check in advance.If you are preparing your own tent, consider that you will need space for your dog's toilet, bed, etc., and choose a tent that is larger than the one for the number of people who will be using it.
Until you get used to camping, it's best to choose a site with electricity.In addition to charging your smartphone, you can use electric fans in the summer and electric heaters in the winter to keep you comfortable.
Even if power is available, some campgrounds may have usage limits.Be sure to check in advance.
◆Convenient goods for camping with dogs◆
Having a large-capacity mobile battery or rechargeable portable power source is convenient because you can not only use it depending on the electricity capacity of the campsite, but also use it when going to and from the campsite.
When it comes to camping, there are many ways to spend your time, such as playing in the river, taking a walk along a mountain path, or enjoying a camping meal while feeling nature.
Some campgrounds have activities that you can enjoy with your dog, and some have hot springs where owners can relax and relieve their fatigue.
It is a good idea to choose a campsite according to your purpose.
We will introduce the goods and camping gear necessary for camping with dogs.
All basic walking supplies are required, such as a water container and poop bag.Make sure to also have a long leash so you can use it in large areas.
If you have a dog anchor or peg to keep your dog on a leash, you won't have to carry the leash all the time and you can move around freely.Please prepare a long lead or mooring rope for mooring.
Since it will be in contact with the ground for a long time, it is best to use materials that are stain resistant.
Although it is not always necessary at a dog-free site, when using fire such as a bonfire or BBQ, it is a good idea to moor your dog at a distance that does not reach the fire for safety.
Additionally, large dogs may be able to jump over the fence at a dog-free site depending on the height of the fence.Just in case, it's a good idea to prepare supplies for mooring.
It is convenient to have it when you want to spend time in a remote location for safety, such as when setting up and tearing down, preparing for cooking, etc.
Also, some dogs become anxious in unusual environments.In that case, instead of suddenly talking in a large free space, try putting the blankets and toys you usually use in the circle to create a relaxing environment.
Camping for the first time can be nerve-wracking, even for your dog.It's a good idea to put a familiar bed in the crate or cage.If your dog always sleeps with you on the same futon, you can put your dog at ease by sleeping in your dog's sleeping bag.
Don't forget to bring your dog's dishes (one for water and one for food), food, and regular medication if you have them.Foldable silicone tableware is convenient without being bulky.
Collars, harnesses, and leashes can get dirty or torn, so be sure to have spares.
There are many opportunities for your dog to get dirty outdoors, such as playing in a river, walking on a mountain trail, or getting wet from sudden rain.Prepare multiple wet wipes and highly absorbent towels to remove dirt.
In order to enjoy the outdoors to the fullest, it is essential to take measures against infectious diseases and pests.We recommend at least 8 types of vaccines that contain leptospirosis, which is transmitted from field mice.However, since your dog is prone to allergic reactions to vaccines, please consult your veterinarian before deciding on vaccinations.
◆Insect repellent goods recommended for camping with dogs◆
Measures against fleas, ticks, and heartworms are also important.In addition to taking repellent medication, be sure to prepare insect repellent spray for dogs and insect repellent items that can be attached to dog collars.Insect-proof dog clothes are also effective.
When using mosquito coils, be careful not to burn your dog.
In addition, if you have a dog cot, it will not only give your dog a calming space, but because it is high from the ground, it will also be useful as a countermeasure against fleas and ticks.
Dogs that usually live in comfortable, air-conditioned rooms may become ill if the temperature is significantly different from their daily routine.Additionally, campgrounds are often located in areas where there is a large temperature difference between day and night, such as in the mountains, so precautions must be taken.
Prepare things like a cooling mat for hot weather, blankets, hot carpets, electric heaters, and hot water bottles for winter.During periods of extreme heat, to prevent your dog from getting heatstroke, try to use accommodations with air conditioning, such as cottages.Glamping is also a great way to enjoy nature in a comfortable space.
Speaking of camping, outdoor cooking such as BBQ is also one of the pleasures.Be careful not to let your dog eat foods that it shouldn't eat because of a delicious smell.
No matter how careful you are, you can still get injured or get sick.Please check the location of the nearest veterinary hospital so you don't have to panic in an emergency.Don't forget to check closed days and clinic hours!
In case your dog gets lost, be sure to wear a lost tag and a dog license tag.
Not all campers are dog lovers.Some people may feel uncomfortable if they suddenly hear a dog barking.Be sure to let neighboring campers know in advance that you will be bringing your dog with you.It's also essential to follow the campground's pet-related rules.
Some owners become so relaxed in the great outdoors that they neglect toilet manners.Please wash away urine with water and be sure to pick up poop and take it home with you.
This is the minimum training required to prevent your dog from barking unnecessarily at the campsite.Even dogs that don't bark unnecessarily at home may become more alert and bark when the environment changes.
As a countermeasure against unnecessary barking, we recommend letting your dog get used to decamping several times.
Please do not let your dog off the leash except in dog-free areas.Even if you can call them back, it is strictly prohibited to leave them free in common areas with other campers.
Be sure to keep your dog on a leash, not only to disturb other campers, but also to prevent your dog from escaping.
Spending time together in nature will deepen your bond with your dog.However, if your dog is in a season where you need to take precautions against heat or cold, or if your dog is sensitive to changes in the environment, it may be difficult to make a sudden debut in camping.
With glamping, you can enjoy a comfortable stay in an air-conditioned room all year round while feeling the great outdoors.It's a completely private space, so even your cautious dog can feel at ease.
Ocean glamping in a dome tent with a private dog run limited to 4 buildings.Enjoy a luxurious BBQ dinner using a large BBQ grill in a dedicated dining space next to the dome.It's built in the shape of a building, so you don't have to worry about it even if it rains.There is a separate shower room, but there is also a private hot spring bath with natural hot spring water.
