Pet Mat/Cushion
It's unavoidable that pets will be anxious about leaving their comfortable bed at home. It is recommended that owners prepare a mat for their pets. A lightweight, foldable, and easy-to-transport camping mat allows the kids to nap and relax peacefully anytime, anyplace. To keep your pet dry and comfortable outside, choose a mat made of 100% cotton that is comfortable and breathable, soft to the touch, and has minimal risk of allergies.
Pet Bag/ Carrier
Bringing a cross-body carrier makes taking care of your pet more convenient. They can curl up in the owner's arms and follow you while you explore around. It is preferable to have a buckle in the backpack to keep them secure and safe. All owners should invest in a cross-body bag with ample storage space for snacks, change, cell phones, keys, and other essentials.
Poo Bag from the Invisible Company
Taking proper care of pets is the basic job of owners, therefore owners must pick up the poop of their furkids! Many pet owners pick up their pet's waste using plastic bags, however there are now more environmentally friendly solutions! The plastic bags from Invisible Poo Bag are not only soluble in hot water, but also entirely degradable and will not form microplastics that will harm the environment! Clean up your pet's feces using Invisible Poo Bag, not just for the sake of other campers, but also for the purpose of the environment!

Drinking Water/Food/Snacks
Furbabies are naturally hungry after a day of roaming around. Owners should prepare meals, snacks and bring clean drinking water in advance. If your pet is accustomed to eating fresh food, the host should store it in the refrigerator to avoid it from turning bad.
Anti-tick and anti-flea products
Not only does the outdoor provides plenty of options for furkids to run and play, but your pets are also. The owner must adequately eliminate fleas and cattle ticks in order to avoid pets from being bitten by them and contracting infections. Anti-flea and tick products come in a variety of forms, including sprays, drops, tick belts, and more. The owner can ask veterinarians to select products that suits them best.

The outdoors is never the same as home, and even if you like the beauty of nature, danger may lurk within. Wild boars, stray dogs, and even snakes may encounter your pets. Before the trip, the owners should carefully organize the journey, including knowing the closest veterinary clinic to the camp in case of any emergency.
First aid supplies for pets
Pets are lively and active. Whether at home or out, there is a chance of accidental injury. If you have a first aid kit, you can treat small wounds by yourself and treat large wounds initially in order to prevent infection. Please also bring first aid kits when you go out to play with your pets in case of emergency.
