Taking your dog camping is a big responsibility. Along with making sure he has a great time camping, we also need to ensure he stays safe and healthy.
Having the right gear helps. To ensure your dog enjoys his camping trip as much as you, we've picked 5 great dog camping products you shouldn't leave home without.
1. For rainy days or after a dip in the sea Henry Wag’s Noodle Glove Dog Drying Towel is perfect for drying soggy doggies. Styled like an oven glove, it allows better control of your dog and the towel for more effective drying. The glove towel's microfibre noodles are highly absorbent and effective at removing dirt and water from your pet’s coat, reducing the risk of infection and helping to keep your vehicle and unit clean and dry too.
The Noodle Glove recently cleaned up on the BBC TV show The Customer is Always Right taking first place and The Customer is Always Right trophy, for price innovation, design and usability.

2. If your dog is a bit of an explorer Equafleece's Summersuit might come in handy. It's designed to prevent sticky burrs and twigs getting entangled in your dog’s coat. More importantly it’s snug fit makes it difficult for ticks (notoriously difficult to spot and remove) to latch onto your dog and will also help prevent bites and stings.
The suit, made from a water-repellent, silky, technical fabric, similar to a very stretchy T-shirt fabric, will also keep your dog dry in an unexpected summer shower.
The Summersuit is available in seven sizes and four colours. Prices range from £20-£38 depending on size.
3. If you’re planning to take your daily dog walks up a gear, or pehaps try canicross (off-road running with your dog) on your next camping trip, Mountain Paws' advanced Shock Absorber Lead is ideal.
The sturdy nylon webbing lead features an elasticated section that reduces the impact of tugging or jolting to both you and your pet. It can be hand-held using its padded, neoprene handle or secured around your waist for hands-free running. It features a high-strength Karabiner attachment to fix it securely to your dog’s collar and a grab loop near the dog’s collar, so you can keep him close to you while navigating busy roads or crowded areas.

4. A simple yet effective way to keep your dog cool when the temperature rises is the Pet Cooling Mat from Henry Wag. The mat contains an innovative yet completely safe gel that cools your dog down by gently drawing heat away from its body without the need for refrigeration.
The mat stays at a temperature that is slightly lower than your dog’s body temperature to keep him comfortable. The mat may also provide relief for more elderly pets who suffer from painful joint inflammation.
