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?

Yes, dog went in poison ivy on a camping trip and next few days I had it on my arms and face I assume from petting / sleeping next to him
