When we are gone all day to places that aren’t dog-friendly (some cities and most national parks), we find a local dog sitter to watch Ted for the day. In a few destinations, we have been lucky enough to meet fellow RVers with whom we trade dog sitting duties. We also let our neighbors know that our dog tends to bark, and ask them to contact us instead of the park office if they have issues with the noise.

Then, we turn on the fan and TV (click here to learn how to watch TV in an RV) to drown out any barking. If we are going to leave Ted by himself in the RV, we go on a long walk to tire him out first. So, we try to find dog friendly restaurants and activities at each new destination. However, if your dog has separation anxiety and barks like a maniac when you leave (like Ted), you will need to restrict the amount of time they are left alone. If your dog is calm and quiet, you will not have any issues leaving them in your RV. Of course, never leaving your dog alone is not realistic so everyone does it. So how do you shop or go out to dinner when RV living with dogs? Most RV parks prohibit leaving your dog unattended in the RV. A few RV parks prohibit fences, but 90% of them will allow you to put up an enclosure.

Many RV parks also offer fenced runs for dogs to play fetch off-leash. We also travel with a small, portable dog fence so Ted can safely chill with us at the campsite. KOA campgrounds will ask for proof of Rabies vaccination, but most private RV parks do not ask for any documentation. Some RV parks charge a small pet fee, but most allow up to two pets for free. Most RV parks are pet-friendly though many parks do have breed restrictions. At the same time, also find the nearest hospital, storm shelter and mobile RV service. Write down the phone number and address, so you are ready to go if your dog has an emergency. Each time you visit a new location, identify the closest emergency vet. Unfortunately accidents happen while traveling, so you need to be prepared to find vet care nearby. When you visit your primary vet, bring a copy of any new records so they also have an updated file. It is also a good idea to save a digital copy in case the hard copies are lost. Store these hard copies in your RV or tow vehicle, so they are easily accessible if you need proof of vaccination. To keep his records organized, have each vet print out a copy of the vaccination and check-up report. I highly recommend you find a primary vet in a town you plan to visit every year. Now, we have a home vet in North Carolina, but we take Ted to the nearest local vet for vaccinations. However, we soon realized, that different vaccinations are needed at different times and it is not realistic to use a single provider. When we first moved into our RV, we tried to keep all vet and vaccination appointments in one town. Vet Visits Need to be Planned in Advance when Living in an RV
