Does your dog rip holes in your sleeping mat (see photo), your pack raft or canoeing dry bag with their sharp claws even if you keep them trimmed? Instead of leaving Spot (or Honey) at home you could get yourself some dog booties to prevent such disasters.
This is the hole Honey managed to rip (in a tussle with Spot) in my Exped Ultralight Mat on a recent trip – NB repaired with Cuben Tape.
