Early Spring Dog Camping Essentials Checklist, All About Staying Warm in Cold Temperatures
🌿 In early spring, taking your dog camping is a good choice! However, in cold weather, the dog’s warmth can not be ignored oh. Choose the right warmth based on your dog’s size, coat size, body fat, and temperature. For example, dogs can be active for at least two hours in temperatures up to -5 degrees Fahrenheit, but longer or colder temperatures will require thicker warmth, such as the Humpty Dumpty warmth pictured. Layering multiple pieces may also be necessary in extremely cold weather.
📖 Inside the tent, sleeping pads/sleeping bags for humans are placed on the sides, sleeping pads for dogs are placed in the center, and jacket jackets taken off are stacked in one place. The dog spends most of his time on his sleeping pad when he’s wearing his warm clothes, and he’s warm when you wake up early in the morning and touch him.
🌅 During the day, keep your dog warm to avoid catching a cold. After the sun goes down, the temperature begins to drop, remember to bring the dog into the car to rest, or take him to the toilet before entering the tent, to avoid the middle of the night to go to the toilet to toss the human dog is also easy to lose temperature.
🧺 The waist leash is a good choice, but make sure your dog is trained not to burst before using it. The width of the waist leash is not very thick, so it is easy to strangle with a lot of force, especially in the summer when you don’t have a lot of clothes for cushioning. Additionally, this waist leash is very convenient for outdoor use and can be hung from a tree to keep your dog safer when playing down at the lake.

Lastly, keep a puppy blanket or quick-drying towel in the car in case you go in the water or take a shower. Outdoors is not like home where you can quickly blow-dry your fur, especially for medium-length/thick-coated puppies, and it’s easy to catch a cold when you sleep in a tent with wetness, and it’s also easy to fall asleep uncomfortably with moisture.
🎉 The first camping trip was a success and a great time was had by both dog and owner!
