  RV travel looks, on the surface, like a dog’s dream: new smells, new trails, their humans close by, and a home that moves with them. But RVing with dogs has its own rhythms and challenges. A little preparation goes a long way toward keeping everyone safe, calm, and comfortable on the road. 1. Create a “Dog Zone” Inside the RV Dogs need a predictable space, even in a rolling home.
