As a dedicated Cavapoo breeder, we aim to help you and your puppy have a safe and enjoyable journey. These are essential tips to help make your travel as smooth as possible.

Preparation is Key

Before you embark on your journey, it’s crucial to prepare your toy Cavapoo or micro mini Goldendoodle for the trip. Here are some steps to take:

  • Visit the Vet: Ensure your puppy is healthy and up-to-date on vaccinations. Schedule your next vets appointment.
  • Microchip and ID Tags: Ensure your puppy has a microchip and updated ID tag on their collar with your contact information.
  • Travel Crate: Invest in a sturdy, comfortable travel crate that is well-ventilated and the right size for your puppy.

 

Packing Essentials

When packing for your trip, consider bringing the following items:

  • Food and Water: Pack enough food and water for your trip, along with collapsible bowls, and Chillax.
  • Potty Item: Potty pan, newspaper, potty spray.
  • Comfort Items: Bring your puppy’s favorite toys, blanket, or bed to provide comfort and familiarity.
  • Cleaning Supplies: Be prepared for accidents by packing cleaning supplies such as waste bags, paper towels, and pet-safe cleaners.
  • Health Records: Carry a copy of your puppy’s health records, including vaccination history.

During the Journey

While traveling, it’s essential to ensure your Cavapoo puppies or Goldendoodle puppies are comfortable and safe. Here are some tips:

  • Frequent Breaks: Take regular breaks during road trips to allow your puppy to stretch, relieve themselves, and have some water.
  • Secure Restraint: Keep your puppy secure in their crate or with a pet seatbelt to prevent injuries and distractions.
  • Avoid Overfeeding: Feed your puppy a light meal a few hours before travel to avoid motion sickness.

Air Travel Tips

If you’re flying with your puppy, here are some additional considerations:

  • Check Airline Policies: Each airline has specific policies regarding pet travel. Ensure you comply with their requirements.
  • Comfort in the Cabin: NO CARGO SHIPPING! Keep your mini Cavapoo or micro mini Goldendoodle in the cabin with you.
  • Acclimate to the Carrier: Help your puppy get used to their travel carrier before the flight to reduce stress.
  • Plan ahead: Bring favorite bones, treats, bones, and Chillax for your trip.
