I'll second the first aid kit. I also love this book and take it with us on all excursions. It is excellent for the outdoors and has medication with dosages in it. http://www.amazon.com/Dog-First-Aid...=sr_1_4?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1335286299&sr=1-4
- Plan for their water
- A good brush/scissors for any burrs that just won't come out
- Back up numbers on their collars
- Med alert tags if needed
- A good harness
- Extra leashes
- Muzzle. I always carry this in our gear bag when out as any dog - no matter how amazing can bite when in severe pain. If you have to pack (carry) a dog back out of a trail head injured - it is alot easier to do with the dog muzzled.
- Numbers/addresses/maps to the nearest vet's office and the nearest 24 hour vet's office.
- Rabies/vaccination certificate (copy - I don't camp with the original)
- Check the area for vaccines you may need. When camping in west Texas nothing extra was needed - in north Texas lepto is a needed vaccine (and it is carried by small furry creatures common around camp grounds).
