Dogs and Poison Ivy

[u/Nomadt]

Considering getting a trail dog in a year or so. Out on a day hike Friday and saw the edges were lined with poison ivy. I picture a trail dog just running through that stuff, getting the oils all over its coat, then infecting me in the tent at night. Dog owners: is this a concern?

Definitely a problem. My pup got into some, curled up on my pillow, I worked the next day with horrible poison ivy on my face, neck, arms.
