this is the pack that i have, i got it when i signed up early for camp. idk if theyre doing the same deal for next season, but if you sign up before january 1st, they send you a free backpack and a sweatshirt, and this is the pack they send you. i guess its up to other campers if theyre selling theirs for you to buy one off of them

What is essential in you dog hiking pack?

Me and my German Shepherd mix are going to take an overnight hiking trip. He and I have hiked before, but it's little 3 hour trips over the mountain in town, and I've made the hike we are taking tomorrow before, even when I was little so I trust the spot we are hiking for both of our skill levels. I have the basics packed: water, first aid kit, emergency supplies, etc. I also have basics packed for him: extra leash, treats, a hitch leash for tie out, a pocket dog first aid guide, poop bags, food and portable bowl. At least two of my bottles are wide mouthed with big lids that can turn into water bowls for the dog, I have a calorie-high energy paste for him, and heavy duty dog boots. His collar, harness, and backpack are all tagged with his name. My brother is coming along too, so there will be an extra back pack for supplies. (He is a sight to see. Everyone on our normal hike has heard of him, and some have even asked to take pictures because people will never believe them.) He is conditioned to wear his pack, and I packed it fairly light (not over 5 lbs, on a 70 lb dog) and there is space in my bag for his if it is too much.

But, this is a longer trip and much farther from home (and we are staying the night, hopefully at the camp site below so that we can get an early start. This is kind of a test trip for much longer, nicer hikes later on. Everything I have packed, most times, seems overkill, but I was always taught that is was better to have it and not need it to need it and not have it.

So, dog hikers/campers, what have you added to your packs that you have found invaluable? Any funny stories, or advice to give about our extended trip to give me warning of what to expect?

Answer
Here are some things that I think are a must if you're going on a trip like that with your dog.

A tube of EMT Gel http://emtgel.com/whatitis/index.php
I've known people who have had dogs get caught on wire, or something else sharp who have cut themselves so badly, that they would have bled to death before the owners could have gotten them to a vet. It stops bleeding like a dream, and is great for treating wounds as they heal.

A old tie, or a soft muzzle. If your dog gets hurt, they could go into shock, and bite, or could just bite because they don't want you to touch them where it hurts. Even the sweetest dogs can do this, I had one of mine nail my hand when I was trying to get their paw uncaught from a fence.
If you go with an old tie, here's how to tie a muzzle: http://books.google.com/books?id=W9QZ6AEjXVUC&pg=RA1-PA5&lpg=RA1-PA5&dq=tying+a+muzzle+with+an+old+tie+on+a+do+guide&source=bl&ots=4smjUTuKID&sig=T9pM-6Mjqc6KaYX7xEGbyH3nIyw&hl=en&ei=hOyKSuS-IpKQsgO1t-XDDQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1#v=onepage&q=&f=false


And then, I'm sure your first aid kit has the usual gauze, and such, though an old dish towel wouldn't hurt to bring in case you need something more absorbent.

I'd also recommend, if you have any experience with one, a skin stapler if you need to patch your dog up that much, but if you haven't used/seen one used many times before, it would be a bad idea, but otherwise they're nice to hold skin together until you get to a vet.


And yes, I am quite the pessimist. At least I'm prepared for the worst. XD
