Top Tips for Camping with Dogs in Cornwall
Camping with your furry friend can be a wonderful experience, but it’s important to be prepared and aware of any local regulations and safety considerations. Here are some tips to keep in mind when camping with your dog in Cornwall:
Pack the essentials
Don’t forget to bring your dog’s food, water, bowls, leash, collar with identification tags, and any medications they may need. It’s also a good idea to pack some blankets or bedding to keep them comfortable at night.
Research local regulations
Make sure to check local regulations around dogs in camping areas, beaches, and other public spaces. Some beaches have restrictions on dogs during certain times of the day or year, and some areas may require dogs to be on a leash.
Keep your dog safe
Make sure your dog is up to date on their vaccinations and flea/tick prevention before your trip. Keep an eye on your dog at all times, especially around water and other potential hazards. It’s also a good idea to have a first aid kit on hand in case of any emergencies.
Be considerate of others
Remember that not everyone is comfortable around dogs, so keep your dog under control and be respectful of other campers. Make sure to clean up after your dog and dispose of waste properly.
Check with your campsite
Before booking your campsite, make sure to check their specific policies around dogs. Some campsites may have restrictions on the number or size of dogs allowed, and may require dogs to be on a leash at all times.
