Pug Lov
i dont know if i should take my 2 pugs with my family were going camping for my birthday and i love both of them but at the camp grounds you cant leave your dog alone because they think the'll "disturb wildlife" and they cant be on a leash longer than 6ft
so then i feel bad because i dont think i could take them in the tent, and i dont wanna leave them outside tied up because im not sure what wild animals there are.
PLEASE HELP!!!
im like really confused
p.s. it would be a 1.5 hr drive in the car
i cant put a run because it will ruin the soil thats what it said and i dont wanna leave them in a kennel and i read that there are racoons,and opossioms
well i guess i could put them in the tent but the thing is that there brother and sister and im kinda afraid that hes gonna try to.... and he barks at cats and other animals in my backyard
they will be 2 years old (human years)

We take our dogs camping all the time and they love it. When they see us getting out the camping supplies they go crazy. If yo are that concerned kennel them or have someone watch them while you go but they love it! Here is what we take when we bring our Deaf Jack Russell Terrier and Lab/Pointer Mix camping with us:
extendable leashes 1 for each dog
short leashes 1 for each dog ( good for being in canoes)
chains or rope to tie to tree or bumper of van so the dogs can be outside with us when we are at the campsite and they can't run loose
Water and food bowls
plastic bags to pick up poop
first aid kit for dogs (most pet stores carry them)
collapseable pen- you can find these at pet stores and places like that. They fold up so they don't take up uch room when you aren't using them. They unfold and they are usually 4x4 so they can be comfortable. my only suggestion would be to get stakes of some kind to secure the pen to the ground so they can't knock it over
Plenty of toys
Towels and blankets for them to lay on and clean them up when they get in the tent with you
Treat them for ticks/fleas a few days before you leave. I like Advantix because it keeps, ticks, fleas, mosquitos and all the babies off. Vet or Pet Store
Plenty of treats for them
Keep this stuff in a separate bag or tupperware container. That way you have it ready whenever you go camping again or are going out of town with the dogs. My two know what their bag looks like and they get really excited when we take it out because they know they are going somewhere. The only other advice I can give is make sure that you watch the pugs eyes when walking around in the woods or anything. As you know their eyes bug out and they can get hurt easliy. Other than that have fun and take them with you. They will love it and you will too.

When camping with tent trailer (pop up), do you stay in the tent area of the campground or the RV area?
Jen B
We're looking at a VERY long trip across the country using our minivan and tent (as is our family tradition). But a friend has offered to let us use his popup trailer. Will campgrounds charge us more because we're using a trailer (vehicle plus trailer v. tent)? Will we be placed with RVs (and their nice generators) or with tents or...?
Answer
I have camped in the upper Midwest for 35 years. Typically a campground segregates and charges based upon your needs. Many offer both electrical and non-electrical sites, electrical sites obviously being higher. Water is another consideration. State parks in our area do not offer water at each site though there are common areas to obtain it. We have camped in private campgrounds where we did have water to our camper. It's often a nice luxury but can be considerably higher in price. Our usage in the camper is minimal enough to decline the option. We make sure our 25 gal. tank in the camper is full before we leave home and it usually lasts the weekend. Proximity to restrooms is always an important consideration if you have children with night bathroom habits. If you're a parent you may be ready for the pop-up. A good nites sleep is important if you're driving on an extended trip. It's my opinion the worst matress is better than the best ground. I hope you have a memory filled trip.
