The crate keeps them from running off, and also protects small dogs from becoming prey to wild animals such as coyotes.

Otherwise, they will whimper through the night or bark at every single noise. Not only will this bother camping neighbors, but it\u2019s really annoying to climb down from your rooftop tent a zillion times in the night to calm your dog.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-image stk-block-image stk-block stk-3dec38f\" data-block-id=\"3dec38f\"><style>.stk-3dec38f .stk-img-figcaption{text-align:center !important;}.stk-3dec38f .stk-img-wrapper{width:60% !important;}@media screen and (max-width: 767px){.stk-3dec38f .stk-img-wrapper{width:100% !important;}}<\/style><figure><span class=\"stk-img-wrapper stk-image--shape-stretch\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"stk-img wp-image-13009\" src=\"https:\/\/jamesbaroud.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/very-large-dog-sleeping-outside-of-rooftop-tent.webp\" width=\"1000\" height=\"979\" alt=\"very large dog sleeping outside of rooftop tent\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"stk-img-figcaption\">If your dog sleeps outside, make sure they have a comfortable bed and a shelter to protect against the elements.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-heading stk-block-heading stk-block-heading--v2 stk-block stk-7c43f66\" id=\"in-separate-tent\" data-block-id=\"7c43f66\"><style>.stk-7c43f66 .stk-block-heading__text{font-size:20px !important;}@media screen and (max-width: 1023px){.stk-7c43f66 .stk-block-heading__text{font-size:20px !important;}}<\/style><h3 class=\"stk-block-heading__text\">In Separate Tent<\/h3><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-6f95be2\" data-block-id=\"6f95be2\"><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\">A lot of rooftop tent campers consider getting a separate tent for their dog to sleep in. This can work if your dog is very obedient and used to sleeping in a tent by themselves. The tent provides shelter from the elements, and some dogs are calmer and bark less when in a tent than outside.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-d1288ce\" data-block-id=\"d1288ce\"><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\">However, be warned that <strong>dogs can easily open tent zippers with their noses and get loose<\/strong> at night. If they can\u2019t get out that way, they might try to chew through the tent if they hear squirrels or other wildlife outside. To play it safe, have your dog sleep in a crate inside the tent or lock the zippers with a carabiner.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-heading stk-block-heading stk-block-heading--v2 stk-block stk-f2cb502\" id=\"in-your-vehicle\" data-block-id=\"f2cb502\"><style>.stk-f2cb502 .stk-block-heading__text{font-size:20px !important;}@media screen and (max-width: 1023px){.stk-f2cb502 .stk-block-heading__text{font-size:20px !important;}}<\/style><h3 class=\"stk-block-heading__text\">In Your Vehicle<\/h3><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-0a301b0\" data-block-id=\"0a301b0\"><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\">If you can\u2019t get your dog up the ladder or would rather not share your tent with Fido, then having them sleep in your vehicle may be a good option.

However, it\u2019s still recommended: If your dog is very dirty or wet, you\u2019ll be glad you have the extra space for a doggie bed in the tent so they don\u2019t muck up your sleeping bag.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-image stk-block-image stk-block stk-d3c5e96\" data-block-id=\"d3c5e96\"><style>.stk-d3c5e96 .stk-img-figcaption{text-align:center !important;}.stk-d3c5e96 .stk-img-wrapper{width:60% !important;}<\/style><figure><span class=\"stk-img-wrapper stk-image--shape-stretch\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"stk-img wp-image-13008\" src=\"https:\/\/jamesbaroud.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/dog-sleeping-in-rooftop-tent.webp\" width=\"719\" height=\"739\" alt=\"small dog sleeping in a rooftop tent\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"stk-img-figcaption\">There&#8217;s plenty of room in the 140cm-wide Odyssey rooftop tent for two adults and a small dog. <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-heading stk-block-heading stk-block-heading--v2 stk-block stk-04ac39b\" id=\"brush-and-clean-your-dog-before-bed\" data-block-id=\"04ac39b\"><style>.stk-04ac39b .stk-block-heading__text{font-size:20px !important;}@media screen and (max-width: 1023px){.stk-04ac39b .stk-block-heading__text{font-size:20px !important;}}<\/style><h3 class=\"stk-block-heading__text\">Brush and Clean Your Dog before Bed<\/h3><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-986aaa4\" data-block-id=\"986aaa4\"><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\">Dogs can get really dirty when camping.

However, it\u2019s still best to protect the mattress in case your dog vomits, has an accident, or just is really dirty. Put a cover over the entire mattress or have a dedicated doggie bed in the rooftop tent for them to sleep on.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-call-to-action stk-block-call-to-action
