Whether you yearn to see the Harvest Moon up close, or merely want to escape the urban tsunami of pumpkin spice lattes, it's prime time to pack the car and head for the hills with your pup for a weekend getaway.

But just as you have learned the value of wool socks, head lamps and a sturdy knife, your dog would like to inform you that his enjoyment also depends on having the right gear. A little investment in smart equipment is the biggest difference between a "meh" camping experience and one that is fetching awesome...for both of you.
