RVing With Dogs

Alot of people take both dogs and cats in their RV with them. In fact, in Albany, NY, I saw a woman in a small Class C with 2 big dogs, 2 cats, and she had the overhead cab section filled with pet birds, flying freely. It was quite a sight. Being an extreme pet lover, I have no problem with 2 dogs and 3 cats in our RV, in fact, I wouldn't mind a few more dogs. HOWEVER, being in a small space makes the necessity for cleaning very acute. So, you should follow a strict cleaning regimin.

Here is mine...after walking the dogs, I feed them. Then, while they are eating, I go into the bedroom and clean the cat's litter box. With three cats, we keep a small wastepaper basket right by the litter box and clean it about 6 times a day. I put the litter trash bag into the kitchen trash bag and take it outside to the BIG trash can outside. Then I take a wet cloth and clean-up the area around the litter. After shaking out the dog beds and the couch cover, out comes the vacuum cleaner and I vacuum the entire RV, including the couch and the dog beds. Then, I wash the dog's food bowls and water bowl and refill them. Thats about it on a normal day of cleaning. This routine keeps the RV realtively clean and absolutely free of any potential fleas or bugs. Now, fleas, we will talk about those later....
