Our eldest is well travelled, Venezuela-Houston-Colorado-California-Oman-Qatar-Colombia and now in the UK....
Things we'd always bring
Ruf wear boots for rocky trails and desert thorns, cost more but stay on...and have a decent fit.
Ruf wear Jacket- we had a cordura one and we have a down one now , keeps the rain off, keeps him toasty warm when required
Ruff wear doggy back pack....he can carry his own food and water on a day hike, even carrying food back from the shop to wherever you parked. Has a handle for helping over rough terrain
Water- never have enough - he usually gets the drinks cooler water too, nice and cool for a hot dog.
Foldup dogs bowls.....don't rattle, use for water and or food, roll up into his backpack.
We carry additions to our first aid kit too, larger tweezers, animal antibiotic type healing cream, razor, steristrips and a good set of tweezers for ticks and thorns.
Up to date vaccinations, and awareness to local issues in each country or location, took him a while to understand running through brush after rabbits in Venezuela and Houston, to running around spiny bushes in Colorado western slope and stopping in time for cliffs...
Sleeping wise, he stays in with us, he tended to roam around and be restless when left outside.
Sleeping space in the truck, we have a harness too which has a seat belt type connection, so he's restrained in case of an accident.
Our dogs part of the family, and sadly after 12 years of devotion he's coming to the end of his life, I think he had his last trip over easter, he can't walk down stairs or even get 2 houses down the road without falling over
and it will soon become time to say goodbye.
