Taking my dog camping in the Sierras...?
I am taking my Jack Russel/Chihuahua mix camping in the Sierra's for the first time, next month. The campsite is dog friendly and I think he'll have fun (although I worry about him barking at noises at night!), but we are near a creek and I am concerned about Giardia. Is there a vaccine? My vet said they aren't readily available anymore and to just keep him from drinking the creek water. Also, I have put him on Frontline Plus for fleas and ticks and will be starting the heart worm medicine today (Not that heart worms are a big problem here in California). Anything else I need to remember?

You probably need to keep him on a leash while camping. Your dog is just about the right size for an owl to swoop down & grab & be gone. Strange smells that lead him away from the campsite & he will get lost.
Keep him tethered or you may loose him.
You could also set up a exercise pen to leave him in, save place to be & you won't worry about other possibilities.
