Travel with a New Puppy
Car Travel Tips:
1) Pick up your puppy as early in the day as possible. The earlier you are able to arrive home, the better your first night will go with your puppy. Puppies are most rested in the morning and will travel best when they start fresh. Also, traffic increases as the day goes on, which can lengthen your travel time.
2) When driving, bring a friend to drive. Then you can attend to the puppy during the car ride. Start the puppy off in a travel bag or crate with the Puppy Blanket. If he starts to be distressed, you can put him in your lap.
3) Put a Pee pad on the floor under your feet. If the puppy starts to squirm to get off your lap, then put him on the pee pad, and usually he will go potty pretty quickly. Don't use the rest stops for puppy potty breaks. You don't know what unvaccinated dogs have been there.
4) Bring the Travel Supplies listed below.
Plane Travel Tips
, Similar to car travel above, but the airline will not allow you to hold your puppy. Most puppies do well in their travel crate at your feet. Allow time before your flight and on the lay over, to take puppy to the rest room. Put a pee pad on the floor, set your puppy on the pee pad, and he or she will usually use the pee pad if they need to go potty.
