Because you don’t want to be caught unprepared.

I'm a HuffPost Shopping writer who loves organization and problem-solving.

But it turns out that bringing your dog along requires a bit of extra care. Plus, as with anything having to do with pets, you don’t want to be caught unprepared or unaware, especially once you’re out in the wilderness.

That’s why we’ve rounded up some of the best items for camping with your dog. From pet first aid kits to dog sunscreen, here are some of our must-haves.

Reviewers swear by this medical kit, which was designed specifically for pet emergencies in the outdoors. It includes 35 essentials, including pet-sized gauze, vet tape, pet eye wash, antiseptic and iodine pads, a pet-sized thermal blanket, a tick remover kit, and more.

Promising reviews: “Perfect size for hiking with my rescue pups. Kit is well-equipped. I hope I never need it, but I have peace of mind knowing it’s in my pack.” —Jo M.

“Had all the tools needed. Was able to extract a tick on the go in the woods after a hiking trip.” —Emily W

Get it from Amazon for $19.95+ (available in three sizes).

This collar offers more visibility in the dark, so other campers don’t mistake your pup’s footsteps and rustling in the bushes for a potentially dangerous wild animal. You’ll be able to keep better track of them, too.

It has three modes — solid light and fast or slow blinking — and can last up to eight hours on one charge. It’s also water-resistant: great for rainy days, but not for swimming.

Promising review: “We bought two of these for our dogs when we are camping, and they were great! Liked that you could cut them to any size (easy to cut too), they are rechargeable, and they were super bright!" —Joy

This sturdy, large-capacity travel bowl is one of the best we've come across. It holds up to 77 ounces of fresh water, which you can dispense through the contraption's internal water bowl. This also comes with a built-in food bowl that you can use for dry or wet food.

We especially like the strong top handle, which makes it easy to carry around sufficient water so your dog doesn't get dehydrated, especially in the heat.

This is designed to be leakproof and is BPA-free. It comes in four colors and in two other sizes.

Promising review: "It's perfect for camping trips or even just to keep in your car for your pup. Easy pull-out tray and button for dispensing water into the dish. I usually take this with us when we go out to our local pub with our other pet friends." —c.williams

If you're short on space, these highly rated foldable silicone bowls will serve your dog well for water and food without taking up extra space in your backpack or car.

They come with lids to help keep their insides clean (and bugs out) and carabiners for easy hiking transport. They're available in packs of two, four-color combinations, and three sizes.

Promising review: "I chose these based on reviews, like I do everything else, and y'all didn't let me down. These are great. Super compact with carabiners that easily clip to my cat's backpack (I'm super cool, I swear) — perfect for camping or travel or, in our case, the boat. They unfold nicely for use, and you can even keep a few crunchies inside when fully collapsed. They're plenty sturdy, the lids fit securely, and they're a breeze to wash and dry. Plus, I love the colors. Excellent purchase. Very satisfied." —Turtle

The open design of this bed lets your dog rest in whatever position feels best, while its soft lining and cushioned padding help keep it cozy. You can add this to your pet's travel crate for extra comfort, keep it in your own tent, or even use it outside.

It's easily packable and comes with its own stuff sack to compress it into an even smaller size for travel. It's also machine washable. This currently comes in one size and color.

Promising review: "I bought 2 of the large size for our 40 & 50 lbs bull terriers to lie on outside since we spend so much time out there in the summer months. They love them! Perfect size and keeps them cool on hot days, and I'd imagine they will keep them warm on cooler days. They are made of sleeping bag material. Super sturdy and so far have held up through many washes and roughhousing with dogs. Fold up and store away easily. Highly recommend." —Noel Higel

This storage container helps keep kibble fresh and safe from bugs, rodents and moisture thanks to its tough material and roll-down top (which is modeled after river dry bags). It can hold up to five pounds of food at a time and includes additional side and bottom pockets for holding keys, dog treats, doggie bags, collapsible bowls, etc. Reviewers also report using this to avoid encounters with bears.

It's made with BPA-free, PVC-free material with a food-safe, heat-sealed PEVA liner.

Promising review: "I love this container!! I took a week's worth of food for two dogs (15 lbs and 30 lbs) on a camping trip. You can expel the air from the bag, roll up the top, lock the clasp, and voila! The closed clasp works beautifully as a handle. Both dogs' collapsible bowls fit in the bottom slit pocket, and treats fit in the side zippered pocket. So much better than a hard container because it gets smaller as the kibble is consumed, and this also makes it 'moldable' to fit in odd-shaped spaces. I love this container!" —EMG

While you and your pup enjoy the outdoors, make sure to guard your dog from sunburns. (Yes, dogs can get sunburnt, too!) This spray-on option lets you quickly cover your dog from head to toe (or, more accurately, paws to tail) and protects you from UVA and UVB rays. It's also water — and sweat-resistant.

It comes in a 3.5-ounce size. Note: This is not for use on cats.

Promising review: "Has an easy spray application and works well on our dog. We love hiking, so it's perfect to keep her sunburn free." —Tyeesa Cordeiro

Get it from Amazon for $17.95 (also available in multi-packs).

These bestselling wipes are designed specifically for gently cleaning dogs' paws, faces, bodies, and bottoms using a soothing mixture of aloe, shea butter, cucumber, and chamomile. This way, if you find your pup rolling around gleefully in the dirt or mud during your camping trip, you'll have some recourse for cleaning them up.

Promising review: "These are the perfect wipes to use in between baths. They have a nice natural scent and leave fur feeling soft. I have two dogs — one with medium coarse hair and one with short thin hair — and these wipes work great for both. We've brought these wipes on camping trips and used them before letting our dogs in the car after hiking and rolling around in dirt, grass, etc. Really great to have on hand." —Erin B.

Get them from Amazon for $9.98 (available in three other scents and three other pack sizes).

When the temperatures drop at night, pups with short fur will be grateful for some extra warmth. This option is lined with warm, soft fleece and sports a windproof outer layer. It also has an elastic waist for extra comfort and a leash hole at the neck.

It's available in seven sizes and eight colors.

Promising review: "I like this jacket more than I've liked any jacket I found in any pet store for my wiener dog! I got a medium, and he's about 13 lb and pretty long. The jacket just fits him so well, and it's not too long, so when he goes to the bathroom, he doesn't accidentally pee on it. I also love the jacket's lining; it's well-insulated and easy to put on. He looks so cute and so fashionable, but he can also go camping, and I don't have to worry about him being too cold. There's a light protective lining on the outside, so even in light rain, it works. I was surprised by the quality, I'm gonna have to buy a second one!" —Amazon Customer
