RVing with Pets

Let’s talk about pets in an RV. If you’re like us, your pets are your family so when it came to us picking out an RV, we wanted to make sure it had plenty of space for our two dogs. Some may say that having pets in RV could be hard on them. For us, they are just happy to be with us and, just like us, they have adapted.


It’s great to be able to take our pups with us on these adventures. We love that instead of having to board them or leave them behind with friends or family they are with us in our house on wheels, comfortable and waiting for us to get home.

We will say that the older the pet gets the harder it might be on them. You may have to adjust certain things like the steps on your RV. Finding great RV parks, with “bark” parks are something you can look for to accommodate your pets. Some rules for safety are to always leash your pets when outside unless in the designated areas and to ALWAYS pick up after them.


I will say I believe our dogs love this lifestyle because they get more quality time with us. Instead of just letting them out in the backyard we now must walk them several times a day. With that said, you must walk them several times a day rain or shine, morning or night. This can get difficult when mother nature has other plans. We have had to take ours out in the middle of a rainstorm, snow and when it’s 1000 degrees outside.

For us personally, we wouldn’t have it any other way. It can be straining at times, but anything can and we are grateful for this time with them and this experience together.
