Pet owners are RVers too.   Remember pets love to RV almost as much as their owners.  So let’s get us and them prepared to travel.  Consider the RV take into consideration the size and amount of space inside the RV.  The bigger the pet the more room it needs tomove about safely.  The first time you take your pet on a trip that isn’t to far from home just in case your pet don’t like it.  Most animals will adapt quickly and enjoy it in no time.

A quick visit to the vet to make sure their shots are up to date and get a health certificate from the vet, just in case its needed.  Make sure your pet feels at home brng his toys, treats and bedding (unless your Labrador sleeps with you like my Rocky then you always have their bedding with you).  Metal bowls are best for traveling.  Pack some of their favorite food (in case you can’t find it in the area your going), leash,flea and tick treatments; whatever you use and plenty of bags for clean up.  Get your pet an ID tag or a microchip in case they get lost.  This will make it easier to find them.

Remember you’ll have to make more frequent  stops so allow yourself the extra time.

When at the campground pick a shaded site.  Pet proof your site.  Make sure there are no puddlesof antifreeze, oil or other fluids.  Also make sure they can’t reach the area where the air conditioner drips, this to can be dangerous to your pet.  Make sure there is no poison ivy or poison oak.  Don’t chain them to the RV with a metal chain; a power surge could be fatal.

Obey the campgrounds pet rules whether you like them or not.

Never leave your pet in the campsite or RV unattended .

If they are outside be sure to supply them with plenty of shade and water.

Enjoy them.
