Pets & Camping Safety

A family camping trip wouldn’t be complete without the dog, but make sure that you follow all safety precautions for bringing pets with you to a campground. First, check to make sure that your campground of choice allows dogs. Many do not because of the threat of large wild animals, such as bears. Then, be sure to pack plenty of dog food and water from the same provisions that your family will use—if you’re filtering water, don’t forget to bring a bowl for your dog, as drinking directly from natural sources is extremely dangerous. Once you take these precautions, don’t forget to have some fun!

Over-the-Counter Medications & Pets

Pets are often curious creatures, wanting to check out things around the house. Because of this characteristic, it’s important to always store dangerous substances like medicine far from their reach. Pets have been known to accidentally ingest whole packages of pills and the results are often serious, sometimes fatal. Keep your pet’s safe at home by storing your medicine safely out of their reach.
