Top 5 Must-Have Camping Gear for Dogs | Howoll Outdoor Essentials

 

Camping with your furry friend can be an amazing experience — but only if you're prepared.
Whether it’s your first camping trip or you're a seasoned explorer, having the right gear ensures safety, comfort, and peace of mind for both you and your pup.

Here are five must-have essentials for a successful and safe dog-friendly camping trip:

🐾 1. Reliable Dog Tie-Out Cable System

A tie-out cable gives your dog freedom to move while keeping them safely near your tent or campsite.

Look for key features such as:
✔️ 360° tangle-free pulley
✔️ Reflective rope for visibility at night
✔️ Lockable carabiners and heavy-duty clips

It's durable, easy to pack, and trusted by real outdoor dog owners.

🛏️ 2. Portable Dog Bed or Cot

Your pup deserves a comfy place to sleep, just like you.

A foldable bed or elevated cot:

  • Keeps your dog off damp or dirty ground

  • Provides insulation from heat or cold

  • Helps prevent contact with bugs

     🛠 Try this: Howoll Pawsrest Pet Cot

      Perfect for tent-side naps or nights under the stars.

💧 3. Collapsible Bowls & Fresh Water

Hydration is vital — and not just for you.
Bring lightweight, collapsible bowls for food and water, and always pack extra clean water for your pet.

     🛠 Try this: TrailPup Collapsible Pet Travel Bowl

      Pro tip: Keep one in your backpack and one at your base camp.

🔦 4. LED Collar or Clip-on Light

Even in well-lit campgrounds, your dog can easily vanish into the trees or bushes.
An LED collar or clip-on light ensures visibility at night and gives you peace of mind.

Ideal for night walks, firepit lounging, or quick bathroom runs.

🩹 5. Dog First Aid Kit

Accidents can happen — scratched paws, bug bites, or even thorns.
A small pet-specific first aid kit should include:

  • Paw balm

  • Gauze and tape

  • Tick remover

  • Tweezers and antiseptic wipes

You’ll be glad you have it when it’s needed most.
