2. Life Jacket

Get your dog to doggy paddle with Outward Hound Standley Sport Life Jacket.


Keep Fido safe and sound with this life jacket so bright, you’ll be able to spot him from a mile away (but let’s hope he doesn’t swim that far). The combination of extra rugged ripstop material and breathable mesh is ideal for water adventures, especially for dogs who swim like pros. That’s something to have in mind, though: this lightweight flotation device is meant for experienced swimmers- if you have a youngster, you might want to look into a more buoyant one.

5. Noblecamper 2-in-1 Dog Bed and Sleeping Bag

One of the biggest things to keep in mind when camping with your pup is trying to save space for their gear plus all of yours. Regular dog beds won’t cut it as they are often large and difficult to transport. However, the Noblecamper 2-in-1 Dog Bed and Sleeping Bag will keep your pup warm even when temperatures dip down at night. Thanks to the nylon shell that zips up to cover your pooch’s entire body much like a sleeping bag, your furry friend will be toasty warm and protected from the elements all night long! To boot, the poly-fill high-loft insulation also adds warmth and comfort to the mix, making sure that your dog doesn’t feel any breeze from the bottom or sides, either. The bed fits easily in the stuff sack and it’s portable and lightweight- words every camper likes to hear!

Ideal when your four-legged bestie wants to take a nap after a dip in the nearby lake- you won’t have to get that wet dog smell all over the tent and they get to dry off in a cozy place.

9. Insect Repellent

One of the biggest pests of camping are all the bugs. The last thing you want when you get home from a trip is to bring all the mosquitos, fleas, and ticks from the campsite. But with the Wondercide Flea, Tick, and Mosquito Spray for Pets you can repel all those bugs naturally and safely. The Wondercide spray is made with natural essential oils that kills 98-100% of bugs on contact. It is gentle enough to use on puppies, kittens, and senior pets as often as needed and is even safe to be used around children.


The 3-in-1 plant-based solution is a great home remedy that can be used not only at home but also in your tent, on your sleeping bags, and on your pet. It comes in several scents like lemongrass, peppermint, rosemary, and cedar wood so you can choose the scent that you like best without it being too overwhelming for your home or tent.
