Dogs can adapt to a new sleeping environment easily so a tent won't be a problem, but they might preffer to sleep outside if the weather is hot. Always remember to keep your dog on a leash when they are away from you so they don't run off after another animal. Keep an eye out for signs of thirst/hunger and heat strokes or coldness. Fresh water being the most important, you should consider buying a reusable water bottle. The DrunkPupShop Travel Water Bottle offers just the thing.
