Tips for Traveling with Your Pet on an RV Trip

Do you bring your pets along with you when you go out on an R V trip? We do welcome to R V lifestyle and repair videos. I'm Lisa mcewen. Today we are talking about bringing your pets along with you on an R V trip. Like so many R V. We always bring Milo, our furry friend along with us, mostly because he loves taking camping trips with us. But also because it's a lot cheaper to bring him along with as opposed to boarding. If we were trying to board him for a week or so on the high end, it could cost upwards of about $350. So it's certainly a lot cheaper to bring him along with as well. But if you are bringing a pet along with you, it certainly means that you need to take some extra precautions. So here are some tips to protect your pet on your next R V trip. Meet Milo. He's our four year old Basset Hound Blood Hound mix that came to our family about a year ago as a rescue during his first few camping trips, he did not know what to make of it. But now he's a seasoned traveler like us. He likes to explore new things. He's a big fan of his family walks where he gets to sniff and examine everything on his route. When we have milo out and about, we follow basic campground etiquette. There are really two golden rules that you should follow. The first one being to keep your dog or your pet on your own campsite. Even if your next door neighbor absolutely loves dogs. It's still the best choice to keep your pet in your own space can be respectful of everyone else in the campground. The second rule is to pick up after your pet. Simple truth is nobody likes to step in dog poop. Am I right? So pick up after your pet no matter where you are, even if you're on a hike in the middle of the woods, pick up after him or her, it's your responsibility. When Milo is in the camper, he has his own space. He usually claims this spot right here and the girls are happy to keep him company. That's another tip. Make sure your dog or pet has their own space to rest and relax. Here are a few other tips that you can use to keep your pet happy while you're on your next R V trip, while you are traveling. If you decide to pull off at a rest station and take a break, get your pet out as well, let them have a drink of water, maybe a bite to eat, exercise, their legs, get them out for a walk. Water is also another big tip. You want to make sure that your pet stays hydrated, especially if you're in those warmer temperatures. If you decide to leave your pet unattended in the camper while you go elsewhere, make sure you limit that time and be sure that you are keeping your pet comfortable during that time as well. So make sure you leave out the food and the water and consider the temperature that's in the R V cabin as well. You want to make sure that it's an ok temperature, be it hot or colder. And the last tip that we should recommend is to always bring those vaccination records with you. Unfortunately, you just don't know if an emergency is going to pop up. So bring those records with you just in case with these tips, hopefully you'll have a great R V trip with your pet until next time.
