Dog-Friendly Camping Kit
To make your camping trip as smooth and stress-free as possible, don’t forget to pack these doggie essentials:
- Dog Food & Treats: Stick to their regular food to avoid any upset tummies. A few treats for good behaviour won’t hurt!
- Water bottle and Bowl: Always have water on hand, especially during long walks or hot days. Collapsable bowls are a great option to fit in a backpack
- Poo Bags: Be a responsible pet owner, bring more than you think you’ll need!
- Dog Bed or Blanket: Give them a cosy, familiar space to relax
- Towels: Muddy paws and wet fur are part of the adventure – towels are a must!
- Tick Remover: Preventative treatment is important, but having a tick remover just in case is essential
Important Information – New Forest Dog Walking Code
Before heading out on your adventure in the New Forest, be sure to familiarise yourself with the New Forest Dog Walking Code : It’s there to protect the stunning wildlife, keep your dog safe, and ensure everyone enjoys their time outdoors.
Dogs must be always kept on leads while on the campsite, and please don’t leave them unattended on the campsite.
