Yellowstone with pets

To those of you who have visited Yellowstone with pets I would like to know the pitfalls and how the trip went. I understand the park rules but just wondering how you handled having the dog along. I have a Golden Retriever and want to take him and we'll be making many other stops. I'd rather skip Yellowstone than leave him behind. Thanks.

  • We left ours in the RV. Dogs sleep much of the day. He sacrificed so we could see the park. When we didn't plan on being away from the TV very long we left him in the truck cab as it was cool. Much the same as when we are running errands locally.
  • I take it you want to take the dog throughout the park vs. just leaving dog in the RV while you check out things without the dog.

    Yes that would be ok but I am staying at Fishing Bridge RV Park mainly because I don't want to have to enter and exit the park everyday.
