The bag

  • Size

    Since there are varieties of dog bug-out bags out there, you should choose one with plenty of room to store about 3-days worth of supplies.

  • Durability

    Your dog's bug-out bag should be able to withstand any weather condition. Since an emergency could occur at any time, you need a bag that can handle anything.


  • Easy Access

    Pick a bag that allows easy access to your supplies. If you have to unpack the dog's bag before finding an item, it's not a good choice for an emergency bug out.


  • Versatility

    Most dog bug-out bags can double as a harness for people with big, strong dogs. Once you have picked out the right bag for your dog, train the dog to wear the bag with the items inside to prepare it for an emergency.

The Supplies

  • Dog food

    Where possible, go for dry food instead of canned food because they are lighter, or you can even separate the food into multiple small packaging bags.

  • Water

     Instead of getting a large water keg, carry small water bottles. You should get a portable water filtration system and be ready to purify your own water on the go. 

  • Water-resistant coat and dog booties

    Be sure to pack Dog booties and a water-resistant coat to protect your dog against snow and rain.


  • Poop bags

    It's important to always pick up your dog's excretion, especially when you have other people with you at your camp out.

  • First aid kit

    It should contain first-aid supplies like antibiotic ointment, bandages, tweezers, scissors, and any medication your dog may be taking.

  • An extra collar and leash

    Pack an extra collar, just in case the one your dog has gets lost or breaks. You should consider getting a multi-purpose leash too that can be attached around the waist.
