Are you planning on camping with your furry friend this RV season? At Veurinks' RV Center, we notice that a large majority of our RVing customers love bringing their pets along for their camping adventures! (Of course, pets are always welcome here at Veurinks', too!)
A camping trip with your canine companion can be an enjoyable experience for everyone involved. Of course, it is important to plan ahead in order to provide both you and your pet with a safe and fun vacation.
1. Contact the Campground
Although most campgrounds are pet-friendly, it is important to clarify this before heading out on your journey. Make sure you also inquire about any other rules that the campground may have about bringing your pet along. Most campgrounds have regulations about leash lengths and leaving your pet unattended. It is always a good idea to be aware of these rules before your arrival!

3. Stay Full and Hydrated
The first three essentials on the above checklist stress the importance of packing food and water for your furry friend. Your pet will need to keep the same eating/drinking schedule on your camping trip in order to stay happy and healthy. You can make this part of your trip easier by purchasing a portable pet dish such as The Pet King travel dish. You can find The Pet King in the Camp Store at Veurinks' RV Center! The Pet King will make keeping your pet full and hydrated easy with its carrying handle and two-in-one bowl design. Hurry in to our Camp Store at 7144 Division Ave S.
