How to Prepare Your Puppy for Travel

Set your pup up for a successful trip with these quick tips:

  • Crate-train in advance if possible, so the carrier feels familiar.

  • Pack a favorite toy or blanket with familiar smells for comfort.

  • Limit food a few hours before departure to help avoid motion sickness.
