Camping with your dog – accessories & equipment for travelling
Camping without your dog? For many people, that is simply unthinkable. To make sure your four-legged friend feels just as relaxed on the road as you do, the right equipment makes all the difference. From safe transport solutions and comfortable sleeping areas to practical bowls – here you will find everything you need for a successful camping holiday with your dog.
What do you really need when camping with your dog?
The right equipment depends largely on how you travel: a campervan, motorhome or tent all come with different requirements. At the same time, your dog’s size, activity level and coat also play an important role.
- For the journey: safe transport solutions and car protection
- At the pitch: safety with dog fences or tie-out systems
- For rest periods: comfortable dog beds or blankets
- For days out: bowls, drinking bottles and leads
- For all weather conditions: protection against heat, cold and wet weather
Safe on the road: transport & protection in the car
A safe place for your dog is essential during the journey. Dog transport boxes and car protection products help your dog travel safely while keeping your vehicle clean. Depending on the type of vehicle, foldable boxes, fixed transport solutions or protective covers for the back seat and boot are suitable options.
Freedom to move at the pitch with dog fences and leads
Dog fences and tie-out systems are the ideal solution if you want your dog to move around without having to watch them constantly. They create clear boundaries – especially on campsites or open pitches.
Comfort like at home: sleeping areas for your dog
A dedicated sleeping area helps your dog relax and recover. Dog beds offer stability and comfort, while dog blankets and cooling mats can be used flexibly – whether in the awning, inside the vehicle or outdoors.
Especially in warm temperatures, cooling mats are a useful addition to help protect your dog from overheating.
Dog bowls and drinking bottles
Many dogs prefer using their own bowl and do not like eating or drinking from unfamiliar food dishes. That is why we recommend buying the right bowl for your four-legged friend before the trip and getting them used to it. This helps keep your dog well provided for on the go. Space-saving, foldable models are ideal for days out and hikes.
Leads and harnesses for dogs
Whether you are strolling through town or walking along a nature trail – with a dog harness and lead, you stay in control at all times. Make sure the fit is right and the materials are robust, especially on longer tours.
Care & hygiene while travelling
Ticks, wet fur and toilet breaks are all part of travelling with a dog. With dog care and hygiene products, you can look after your dog, provide first aid and keep your camping area clean.
Play & activity for dogs
Your dog also needs exercise and variety while on holiday. Dog toys help keep them busy – whether at the pitch or out and about.
Weather protection for large and small dogs
Depending on the season, extra protection can be useful. Dog clothing & weather protection helps in rain, wind, cold and heat alike – with cooling vests, dog jackets and jumpers or life jackets, your four-legged friend will be well equipped for every adventure.
How to choose the right equipment
When you are unsure, use these questions as a guide:
- How are you travelling – by tent, van or motorhome?
- How big and active is your dog?
- What temperatures can you expect?
- How long will you be travelling?
Based on this, you can choose the right equipment in a targeted way – without unnecessary luggage, but with everything you really need.
Camping with your dog – well prepared on the road
With the right equipment, your camping holiday will be relaxed and safe for both you and your dog. Discover the right accessories for your next trip and put together your own individual setup.
