Why Camping?

Camping is a great way to get outside and enjoy the fresh air. And camping with your dog is the ultimate adventure. Your pup will have a blast exploring new sights and smells and spending time with you in a new environment.

If you’re taking your dog camping for the first time, your to-do list includes a thorough vet check-up with up-to-date shots as well as having emergency plans and the right gear (that includes a tent that accommodates your dog).

Can dogs sleep in tents?

Yes, dogs can definitely sleep in tents but not all camping tents are suitable and big enough. It’s important to have plenty of ventilation and choose a tent made of a sturdy material.

However, you can’t leave your dog in the tent while camping. Your dog can’t go potty or regulate the heat, he might get anxious and escape, or get attacked by other dogs or wild animals inside the tent.
