Travel Tips

​

If you plan a trip make the decision if you take your puppy along, or if you board your dog/puppy. 

​

​

 

Leaving your puppy behind

​

• Ask your veterinarian, breeder, or other pet owners to recommend reputable boarding facilities.

• Make reservations in advance of your trip. Many facilities book up early, especially over holidays.

• Make sure that your puppy is current on all of his vaccinations.

• Make sure that you give the boarding facility a supply of things your dog needs during his stay.

• Leave feeding instructions and a supply of your puppy's regular dogfood.

• Make sure the boarding facility has an emergency contact number. 

• If you can, test run his or her boarding. You can book 2 days overnight stay and see how your dog/puppy is cooping with it before booking a longer stay.

Traveling with your puppy

​

• Make sure that the hotel will take dogs.

• Your puppy needs to be up to date on all of his vaccinations. 

• Take your puppy's dogfood along.

• Make sure you buy bottled water during your trip for your puppy, never use tap water.
