What are the important preparations to make when camping with pets ?

To enjoy camping in nature with your pet, it's important to be prepared.
Especially if it is your first time camping, we recommend starting with day camping to get your pet used to it, and choosing a site with a fence.
Here are some useful items to bring to ensure a comfortable stay for you and your pet.

① Hygiene products

Tissues and towels are great for wiping your pet down after playing in the water, or for quickly cleaning up after an accident. It's also a good idea to bring extra poop bags and pet sheets.

② Gauge

Having a cage is useful when you are setting up a tent or preparing meals.
It's fine inside a tent, but it can be dangerous if their nails get caught in the tent fabric.
Putting your pet in a cage will ensure its safety, and having its own dedicated space will make it more comfortable.

③ 食事と寝床は「いつも通り」を意識

The same food bowls and pet food you always use are essential.

Being in an unfamiliar environment can be anxiety-inducing, and can lead to loss of appetite and poor health.
Don't give your pet human food just because it's "special" for camping.

④Leashes and harnesses

There are many shared spaces in the campsite, so please be careful not to cause trouble to those around you.
If your pet lets itself loose in nature and lets its leash go off, it can lead to fights with other pets or even disappearances.

⑤Vaccination certificate

Some campgrounds may require you to show proof of vaccination.
Also, if your pet becomes sick while you are out, you may have to take it to a veterinary clinic that is not your regular clinic. Pets that have not been vaccinated may be refused examination or treatment, so it is a good idea to remember to bring your vaccinations with you.

9. Check for mistakes

基本的にペットの粗相は処理する必要があります。大きなものから小さなものまで、長く使うためにも他のキャンプ場宿泊者の方のご迷惑にならないよう心がけましょう。
