Taking your dog camping can be a great experience for both of you. Your dog will be fascinated with all the new sights, sounds and smells. And you’ll love knowing that your best friend is sharing your love of the great outdoors. If you are thinking of bringing your dog along with you on your next camping trip, there are a few things you need to consider.
• Make sure you pack plenty of water
• You may be on vacation, but don’t take a break from grooming your dog
• Bring along your dog’s brush or comb
• Bring a first aid kit for your dog along with the number of a vet that’s closest to your camping area
• Pack plenty of plastic bags so you can clean up after your dog
• Never leave your dog outside alone
• Don’t leave your dog’s food out in the open when he’s not eating it. It could attract unwanted insects or wildlife
• Keep your dog quiet. Frequent and continued barking disturbs the wildlife and other campers
•Try to get a site with some shade for your dog

Chicken Jerky 
Ingredients:
Chicken Breasts – that’s it!
Basically, we are dehydrating strips of chicken. Dehydrating is the process of slowly removing all of the water. The dehydration process retains almost 100% of the nutritional content of the food.
Preheat oven to 200 degrees.
Lightly oil a baking sheet.
Thinly slice the chicken with the grain. The slices should be very thin. I’m always scared of cutting myself, so mine aren’t thin as they could be.
Place the strips on the baking sheet. Bake for approximately 3 hours.
Just check on it once in a while.
Remove from oven and cool.
Easy, right?!
