Are Your Dogs Safe in an RV? Keep Them Safe This Summer!

It’s always fun to go on a road trip with your dogs in RVs, motorhomes, or cars. While there are lots of things to see and do with your furry travel companion along the way, there are also times when you may need to leave your pet in the RV or car.

These trips might include frequent stops at amusement parks, restaurants, retail shops, and other places where pets aren’t allowed. In those cases, you may have to leave them behind in the RV, motorhome, or a hotel room while you're away.

Of course, it’s essential to keep the A/C running during the summer or the heat on in winter to maintain a safe and comfortable environment. But how can you ensure that heating and cooling systems won’t malfunction? How can you be absolutely certain your dog is safe?

Unfortunately, without actively monitoring your pet’s environment, there’s no way to be 100% sure. Sadly, Shannon King, who worked long day shifts in a restaurant, lost his pet to heatstroke when the temperature in his home rose too high during the hot summer months.

And Elisa, who left her pet in her RV during an RV trip, lost her dog to heatstroke on a scorching summer day. Shannon and Elisa are just two of the thousands of pet owners who have experienced heartbreaking losses due to heatstroke.

Today, there are several gadgets designed to help keep your pet comfortable and safe. But before choosing one, make sure it meets your specific needs. Many pet monitoring devices rely on WiFi or Bluetooth, which isn’t always reliable—especially if you're RVing in a remote area. Even when you have WiFi, weak signals or outages can render these devices useless when you need them most.

Look for a Pet Monitor that has:

• Real-time monitoring

• Real-time alerts

• Built-in cellular network (no dependence on WiFi)

• Backup battery lasting 4–6 days

• User-friendly mobile app

The Waggle RV Pet Temperature Monitor offers one of the best solutions for monitoring your pet and keeping them safe while RVing. It’s easy to use, battery-operated, connects via cellular network, and includes Geofence safeguards designed specifically for RVs and motorhomes. You can access all data through the Waggle Mobile App on your phone.

How to Use the Device:

1. Place the device on a secure surface near your pet’s area in the RV.

2. Download the app on your mobile device.

3. Set your desired temperature thresholds to receive alerts.

Voila!
You’re all set!

Now you can stop worrying about your pet’s safety and truly enjoy your RV vacation, knowing your dog is in a secure and climate-controlled environment no matter where your travels take you.
