Good Canine Eats for Camp Road Tripping
Please welcome our guest contributors, Dante and Sierra. Our food fixated Rhodesian Ridgeback and mischievous white Boxer have requested to share their thoughts. They insisted. Why not? Canine’s can be publishers too.
Mommy and Daddy are crazy sometimes, they just don’t stop. But when they blame us for our quirkiness, we know where we get it from.
We watched them load the car with sleeping bags, backpacks, beer and rosé wine, sunflower seeds and licorice, which could only mean one thing–camping road trip!! Road trips are the best because we’re not trapped in the boring backyard anymore and best of all, camping means we get to eat really, really good.
They’re extra generous with us when we eat in the great outdoors. Sometimes they’ll toss in some stale crackers or left over granola bars that were smashed on the floor of the car. It’s extra special when they throw in some of those dirty nuts in our kibble bowl. We don’t mind the extra sand at all. However, the ultimate camping treats are those left over scraps of salami.
Ooooohhh, salami, viva salumi. We love’s us some good charcuterie.
So where are we going on this camping trip? We have no idea, but the farther we hike and the longer we drive, we get cuddled with hourly snacks and great kibble fixings.
Luckily for breakfast today, Daddy found a banana that was mooshed between the ice chest and his hiking boots. The banana looked so pretty, so brown, soft, and ripe. Score! We got banana kibble for breakfast today!! Banana’s are great with kibble The bright, tropical, floral notes of the squished banana balances nicely against the dehydrated crunch of the mundane kibble. What a lovely pairing.
And Dante scored big time because he found a left-over hamburger bun at the rest stop where we slept. Lucky bastard. Frickin’ hound can smell food a mile away.
We need some food ideas to pass on to Mommy and Daddy. What special treats to you like to add to your dog’s kibble? Thanks and stay tuned for the rest of our camping excursions!
woof woof,
Sierra & Dante

Handsome dogs. I used to have a boxer – they’re just the best aren’t they? So much personality in their eyes.
Fabulous vet approved dog snacks (in moderation, naturally):
carrots
broccoli
apples
strawberries
cantalope
watermelon
bananas
plain yogurt
canned pumpkin
tomatoes
blueberries & raspberries
green beans
zucchini
peanut butter
My dog is practically a vegetarian (fruitarian). Apples, bananas, peanut butter, and yogurt are pretty much staples in her diet.
Hope you had fun camping!
oh and i forgot to say congrats on you’re goodbite videos they’re really great!
I’m not going to let my boyfriend see this post. You have the two dogs of his dreams…I’m just afraid of the commitment (and have a soft spot for Scruffy Terrier/Mutts). My mother’s pup (who has allergies) loves watermelon, apples and carrots. These are the few things they can munch together. Feed sparingly though, of course.
P.S. From my experience with my boyfriend’s parents’ Boxers, is that they tend to have sensative stomachs.
Have a great trip! Where you’re headed there’ll be no tweetin’ (just got back ourselves).
hee hee! You guys are funny.
i add canned pumpkin to my dog’s food – helps prevent/cure diarrhea!
So CUTE. 🙂
Cuteness OVERLOAD. And I’m not even a dog person!
Sure, let Sierra and Dante post…now I’ll have to make sure Moose doesn’t see this this or he’ll be wanting to jump in and have a guest spot on my blog!
Moose’s fave kibble add-in – when Mommy pours some of the leftover ground beef “juice” in the bowl. He gobbles that stuff right up!
oooooh kisses to Dante & Sierra!!!
Auntie Jaden will bring you another BIIIIIGGGGGG bone! None of those itty bitty doggie biscuits! 😉 xoxo
Hahah I see a blogging career ahead for you guys. “Confessions of a Canine Foodie”? “Doggie Gourmand”?
We just learned from the vet that Bailey was a mix of labrador and ridgeback! You’re dogs are just handsome! And very cool to boot!
Have fun on the road!
Good thing you got the dogs to post for you while you take time off from all the work you’re doing…(You two never stop!) Though I don’t have dogs, my imaginary pack eats just like your little doggies!
hugs,
B
I hope you guys are having a blast! I miss my girlfriend Sierra!
