Next weekend we're traveling 8 hours to get our new Em/mix (they say it's mountain mastiff the father??) We have a small car and will be bringing a sizable crate for the pup to be riding in safely.
My concern is he is going to freak out. The pup will be 11 weeks old by then, but raised outside, and never been in in a car before. I plan on laying a tarp down (since he has No potty training what so ever) under the crate in the back seat and a blanket In the crate for comfort.
I was thinking of maybe buying a Kong toy for little buddy to play with. (Filling with treats) or maybe may be a pig ear or something to keep him preoccupied... any suggestions?
Now I plan on stopping every 2-3 hours for walks and potty breaks.
Will this be sufficient for little buddy or do we need to modify our plans when traveling with him?
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
