REI Adventure Dog Tent – Camp out with your dog.

I think it is safe to say that many of us who enjoy the outdoors have dogs. So it only makes sense that we would like to enjoy the outdoors with our dogs. if you are one such person, you have probably already looked into dog backpacks. If you have spent the money on buying them their own backpack, why not make them feel extra special by getting them their own personal tent? Thats right, why not buy your dog a tent as well? REI makes a special dog size tent thats perfect for you four legged hiking buddy.

The REI Adventure Dog Tent is surprisingly well made, something a dog owner is sure to appreciate. Thats not to go so far as to say its dog proof, but it is certainly constructed well. It may take you dog a little getting used to, but if you have crate trained your dog before, the tent should be easy enough to get them accustomed to.

To help keep your dog comfortable and a little less stressed, the REI Adventure Dog Tent has a clear window. This not only lets your dog see out, but allows you to keep and eye on your dog while they are in the tent without disturbing them. Another dog friendly features of the REI Adventure Dog Tent is the floor. The floor can be easily removed for cleaning and also has a spot to run the leash through.

I cant recommend the REI Adventure Dog Tent for every dog, but if you think your dog is well behaved enough for it, I say go for it. It sure beats having them sleep in your tent and get hair and dirt all over the place. Plus, its just cool that your dog has their own tent!
