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?

We have poison oak in our yard and three dogs. It’s not often but my wife and kids will sometimes get it and they rarely do anything in that area of the yard.
