This year, treat your trail-running, squirrel-chasing, lake-jumping pup to camping gear for dogs.

Dogs don’t need much. Fresh air and a ball will keep a smile on those floppy faces. But we humans know the importance of keeping them safe and comfortable — especially when we’re exploring the great outdoors together.

Our Favorite Camping Gear for Dogs


We have our #DyrtDogs to thank for so much joy, whether they’re curled up at our side in the tent, running next to us on the trails, or snoozing in the back seat. And we can’t wait to treat them to new camping gear for dogs this holiday season.

Be prepared for mild injuries with Green Goo’s Animal First Aid, a 100% natural ointment that soothes and heals. At an affordable price, this is some of the most important camping gear for dogs to keep on hand.
