Tips for Traveling with Your Pet on an RV Trip
Jason & Lisa McEwenDescription
Practice good etiquette
When Milo is out and about, the McEwens practice basic campground etiquette. First, don’t let your dog wander into someone else’s campsite. As always, you should respect everyone’s space, and while some people love dogs, it’s best to keep your pet in your own space.
Second, pick up after your dog. No one likes to step in dog poop, it’s that simple. So, even if your dog goes to the bathroom in the middle of the woods, pick it up. It’s your responsibility.
Give your pet its own space
When Milo is in the camper, he has his own space. He has his favorite bed from home and usually hangs out on it.
Give your pet bathroom breaks too
When you’re on the road, especially on long RV trips, stop for breaks and let your dog walk around and get a drink.
Limit the amount of time your pet is left unattended
Your pet could show behavior that could bother your neighbors, like barking nonstop. Don’t leave your pet alone too long. If you do, make sure the temperature is comfortable.
Bring your pet’s vaccination records
It’s a good idea to keep a copy of your pet’s records with you. If you need to visit a vet, you’ll have them on hand.
With these tips, you’ll surely enjoy your next RV trip with your pet.
