Ship your puppy this holiday season without a worry 🎄🐩
Shipping a puppy is a real transport challenge and carries a lot of questions. Answering the best for transporting a puppy starts with knowing your puppy's age, continues with his size, and ends with his medical condition. Let's take a look at the different possibilities of shipping puppies and discuss the pros and cons of different modes of transport.
Regardless of the means of transport you use, it is essential that you consult your veterinarian about any concerns before the trip begins. The most important rule of thumb is that your furry little friend is safe and his immune system is ready to take on the stress of transportation.
In addition, it may be necessary for your puppy to be vaccinated before the trip and have a health certificate.
Sending a puppy by car
It doesn't matter if you are working with a professional carrier or want to transport your dog yourself, trucking offers a great alternative to flying. Still, it comes with its challenges for the pup.
Puppies can easily get motion sickness, so it's essential to pack a few basics, like puppy pads, paper towels, and plastic bags, to clean up a potential mess that they could do stress-free. Try to keep the car at a comfortable temperature - it is difficult for your puppy to cope with too hot or too cold weather. If your puppy is feeling unwell during the trip, he may drool, hang his head, and become restless. Take a break if you need to. Generally, when a puppy is asleep, he can hold his bladder for one hour for every month of her age. Plus an hour, but when he's awake, he may not be able to hold out.
