Taking my little Buffy with me is like traveling with another whole person, but she’s a lot of the reason I got the T@B, so we like it. Something that wasn’t mentioned is a dog car seat. Not everybody is as paranoid as me, but we don’t go anywhere unless Buffy is belted into her car seat with a harness that’s clipped directly into a seatbelt or in her crate that’s strapped down to the floor of my Suburban. It’s safer for her in an accident and also for any emergency personnel who may have to help us if I’m unconscious or unable to respond for some reason. I’ve known families who have lost their dogs in car crashes, both because they were injured and also because they were just scared and able to get out an open door and run away during the aftermath. If your pet is restrained, especially in a crate, all the first responders have to do is place the crate in a vehicle for transport to your vet (or a vet, if you’re out of town) and since they’re only handling the crate they don’t have to worry about possible temperament issues, fear biting, etc. Also, if your pet is in a car seat, make sure there is not an airbag in front of them because the force of an airbag deploying can kill a small animal. I know I sound like crazy car seat lady, but even a hard stop can send an unrestrained dog flying and result in serious injury. ❤️🐾
We have a long lead for the campsite. My Luna is a lab/heeler mix. She is my service dog, so of course she goes EVERYWHERE with me. Her favorite bed goes into the trailer, her first aid kit, grooming supplies, boots, etc, go into a tote in the car. She changes from her usual pink vest to a sturdy black harness when traveling any distance. I have a strap attached to the car seat connector behind her seat to secure her.
We just picked up our 12-week old border collie puppy so the timing for this video is great. I will have to look further into first aid for pets. Thanks for posting.
We have a 15 yr old border collie that is still running and playing. They need a lot of attention and we camp where there are lakes and land that they can run free to burn off the energy. Enjoy
Bringing medication, and dog medical history is a must. Also some dogs are prone to sunburn, must not keep them out to long in the sun. Our dog has slight hair, and he can get sunburn. We also carry doggles to protect our dogs eyes when going through the woods, and for the sun. Don't forget your dogs favorite toys!!!Great video!
The prescription tick med is a must. I had a dog that got Lyme traveling which affects them for life. Nothing "natural" works for flea or tick. We love the ChuckIt bed too.
I absolutely love every single one of these tips and tricks. Going camping soon with a second dog in our family. I really think having a portable gate/fenced in area will be very beneficial. Thank you
We love going camping and when we do we take our two male Chihuahuas Hershey and Chico in our Tag XL. They love going on hikes and exploring. Thanks for sharing Mandy and Kendrick. 🐾 🐶
Once again, I Thank You! I plan on including my lil dog in most outings. Y'all have consistently provided helpful information that I will use and pass to others. Keep doing what ya do.
Mandy, I love your video's, I've learned so much, especially love all your helpful suggestions, and everyone else's, there are so many that I already do. Also, I wanted you to know how glad I am that you found Kendrick, the two of you mesh so well, glad you found someone who likes the same things you do and that you are not out there alone. Love and light, 😉
Thanks so much for the kind words PR RUNE! We try hard to make interesting videos that people like, but also ones we want to make... its a hard balance!
Many campgrounds require proof of current rabies vaccination. The collar tag is not enough---you need to bring a copy of the actual vet record. You'll need it if you plan on traveling over the border into Canada too. Also, a current photo of your dog helps if he decides to wander and you need to run around and search for him. Make sure his chip information is up to date too, plus his collar ID tags. We also pre-package their meals in small ziplocs for the number of days we plan on being away (plus some extra just in case) so we don't have big bags or containers of food which are more difficult to store in a smaller RV. Makes mealtime really easy----no measuring, just grab a bag. Oh, and one more thing. Check the policies of campgrounds before you plan on staying in one, especially if you have more than one dog. While planning a few weeks ago there were two that I had to take off my list after looking at their policies and seeing that they only allow one dog per site. Some are also starting to have breed and size restrictions. Great tips in the video---thanks for posting!
First I want to thank you for providing such accurate and valuable information. No once did any of your examples involve aversive treatment or devices on the dogs. I am a certified professional dog trainer CPDT-KA and would have given much the same advice if a client were to ask me about raveling with thier dogs. I have a 13 inch Beagle and a Bluetick / Treewalker hound mix and am working with them to get them comfortable in our camper so they can go with us. Being both are hounds they can be a little reactive especially if there is a rabbit involved. My Beagle turns into Elmer Fudd and has one thing on her mind kill the wabbit, but we are working on that trigger.
All great ideas. I've used a 20ft webbed lead for 30 years through two dogs. It's the best. I think once I get full time on the road, I'll include a little fencing system, too. Teddy is not a fence jumper and it would be nice to have him off leash now and then. I'm also considering a self-contained paw washer. I'll find a link and post it in a bit. THANKS!
Love Lucy at the end 😂 we have a foldable crate we used with Lexie, our old black Lab. Haven’t tried this crate with the year old monster black Lab, Sierra yet. Hopefully she doesn’t eat it. It’s a good spot for dogs to get out of the sun or away from bugs..
Thanks for the valuable information. I used to be an Arizonan and your video makes me excited. I became your new RUclips friend and I'll visit you often.
Another suggestion is go out of your way to find a Vet wherever you are. Our pets can get into all kinds of trouble in the Boonies. The best accessory is a good pair of shoes to walk with them and let them experience the Doggie Network!
Don’t forget to have their picture and chip information (paper and/or digitally), dog tags on them with your cell phone information, car seat and/or crate and use their harness when traveling, and their medical information including any allergies. Be sure to have your ICE (in case of emergency) on your phone.
By law, you are supposed to take a rabies certificate with you if you cross state lines. It is seldom an issue, but it is better to have one and not need it than need it and not have it. Your veterinarian should be able to supply you a copy.

@@lisaandmandiontheroad8504 Thanks for the tips.
Super cute! Loved this video
Yep, those off the ground beds are the best!!
See so many people using them!

Those pups are all Supercute! 👍
I know! I can't get enough!

Tags are perfect for Chihuahuas! Thanks for watching!
Will you be in attendance to May tiny trailer rally hosted by princesscraft?

Thank you so much James! It goes a long ways to hear words like this...

so so so many great ideas!!! I plan to do a few more follow up videos like this one with some of the items you mentioned. Thanks!
Great tips. 👍 what are the gazebo type things some of you have?
Thanks for sharing. We camp digest too. To much responsibility 🤓

Cute little doggies!
Agreed!
Thanks for this tip dogs camping companion!!! Loved everyone's trips especially the one with three doggies cuz we have 3 too. They are 11, 9 and 2.
Aw very sweet! I wish I had even 1!
Something we do is keep three special toys in the camper that our Lil guy only gets to enjoy while camping.
Those were some great tips! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for checking it out!

Awesome!! I think the fences are a great alternative to leashes if your dog will stay in it :)
Great advice!
Glad it was helpful!

Oh thats a great idea!
After 3 years of full-timing with our 2 dogs our favorite pet accessory is the GoGo Stik. It is the most ingenious poop stick in the world.
Ooooh cool! Maybe I can find someone to add it to a follow up vid. Thanks!
Thankyou
You’re welcome 😊
Thanks for the valuable information.
I used to be an Arizonan and your video makes me excited.
I became your new RUclips friend and I'll visit you often.
I Love Lucy!
Haha, me too!
A bear can for dog food is one thing they missed or smell proof bags for food.
Both great ideas!

I swear that's the intro music for Gettin' Learnt with Ricky...

Woof Woof!

The amount of Karens..
LOL, Right?
