Glamping with Your Pup: What to Bring and Why Merrick’s Food Is Perfect for Your Adventure

When I went glamping in Japan with my dog, Zero, I quickly learned that glamping isn’t just for humans—it’s a perfect adventure for pups too! If you’re planning a similar getaway with your furry friend, you’ll want to make sure you pack everything you both need for the ultimate outdoor experience. Here’s what I’ve learned from my own glamping adventures and why Merrick’s food was my go-to choice to keep Zero happy and healthy throughout our trip.

What I Packed for Our Glamping Adventure

• Comfy Bedding: Zero needed his own comfy space just like I did! I brought his kennel and soft bed and a blanket to make sure he had a cozy spot after a long day of exploring.

• Water and Bowl: Hydration is key, especially when you’re spending the day outdoors. I made sure to pack a portable water bowl and extra water to keep Zero hydrated during our hikes and downtime.

• Leash & Harness: There were so many interesting smells and sights! A sturdy leash and harness kept Zero safe while we explored the great outdoors.

• Toys for Fun: I brought along a couple of his favorite toys to keep him entertained, whether we were relaxing by the campfire or playing fetch.

Why Merrick’s Food Was Perfect for Our Trip

After all that fun in the sun, I needed something quick and easy to feed Zero. Merrick’s Backcountry meals were a lifesaver! They’re made with real, high-quality ingredients and packed with protein to keep him energized during our hikes. I also loved the grain-free formula because Zero has a sensitive stomach, and it kept him feeling great the whole trip.

When it was time to wind down, I gave him some Merrick Soft & Chewy Treats—perfect for a little snack while we relaxed by the campfire. Plus, a bit of Merrick Bone Broth kept him cozy during the cooler evenings.
