Choosing a campsite for a holiday with your dog
Before giving you all the advice for your camping vacation with your dog, you will first have to choose the campsite that will accommodate your whole family, dog included! I am pleased to present to you the Flower Campings network, the largest chain of campsites in France. We've been working together behind the scenes for a few weeks to be able to offer you Wouafement Bien campsites on the site. Flower campsites are human-sized campsites where friendliness and comfort reign supreme.
In most dog-friendly campsites, you will be asked to present your dog's up-to-date vaccination record and that your companion is chipped or tattooed. Think about it before you go on vacation!

My dog in the tent
To spend a great holiday together, it requires a bit of organization beforehand… Let's take a closer look.
You have chosen to sleep in a tent, is there a real place for your dog?
Before leaving, I had chosen to have Musher sleep under the awning of my tent. Eventually, she slept in it. She's sheltered in the awning but she can get out by slipping under the sides of the tent… She's not a runaway but I didn't want to try. You will therefore have to find a good compromise between your comfort and the comfort of your hairball. Remember to insulate your dog from the ground with a carpet so that he does not catch cold, preferably with HIS carpet which therefore carries his smell. It will give him a point of reference and the feeling of being almost at home. During the day, it will be necessary to define a corner of its own, in the shade of course. I had taken the dog tent of Musher. Unfolded in 2s, my dog thus finds her travel kennel and therefore a place of her own where to rest.
On your site, how is it going?
On most campsites with dogs, you will be asked never to leave your pet alone on your pitch. This is normal, the pitches are not closed. Very often children take shortcuts to reach the swimming pool or their friends more quickly, if your dog stands guard during your absence, the meeting can be complicated... and this behavior is not acceptable on a campsite.
If your dog takes to their heels as soon as your back is turned, you will have to find a solution to remedy the problem because he is not allowed to wander on the campsite. Maybe invest in a screw peg to secure your dog's leash to?
One last piece of advice, when making your reservation, remember to ask for a pitch with shade to avoid heatstroke to your dog.
As for practical accessories for your dog?
I advise you to take your dog's kibble in an airtight box to avoid humidity or rain and charming ants! Just like at home, remember to leave a bowl of fresh water always available, especially if it's hot... Plan your small poop bags to collect all your dog's excrement. If you want your dog to be welcome in more places, you have to play the game and follow this common sense rule. Also take a towel or two, if the rain ever comes, it will be useful for wiping your dog.
My dog in my bungalow, my mobile home, my lodge…
If you're not a big fan of tent holidays, the campsites in the Flowercampings network also offer you campsite rentals where your dog will be welcome too. It's less adventure than under the tent but you still have to think about your dog. It will be necessary to arrange a small area just for him with his basket and his toys so that he feels comfortable. Try to keep the same routine for meal and pee times. The dog is a routine animal that loves its habits. For him to feel good on vacation, these references are essential, especially if he does not often go on vacation with you.
On these tips, I wish you to share wonderful holidays with your dog the Wouafer's !!!!!!
