Cavoodles' small size and adaptable nature make them well suited to travel, whether it's a weekend road trip or a flight to meet their new interstate family.
Car Trips
Always secure your Cavoodle in a crate, carrier or dog seatbelt harness rather than allowing free roaming in the car - this protects both your dog and other passengers in the event of sudden braking. Early, positive exposure to car travel as a puppy makes a big difference to how relaxed they are on longer trips later.
Preventing Car Sickness
Avoid feeding a large meal right before travel, keep the car well ventilated, and take regular breaks on longer trips. Puppies often outgrow mild car sickness as their inner ear develops and they build positive associations with travel.
Flying With a Cavoodle
For interstate families, we help coordinate pet-safe flights with approved airlines when a puppy is old enough and appropriately prepared, including correctly sized, airline-approved crates and required paperwork.
Accommodation and Day Trips
Australia has a growing number of dog-friendly cafes, beaches and accommodation options. Always check specific pet policies in advance, and bring familiar bedding, food and water to help your Cavoodle feel settled in a new environment.
Packing Essentials
- Familiar bedding and a favourite toy
- Enough of their usual food to avoid a sudden diet change
- A lead, harness, and poo bags
- Water and a collapsible bowl
- Any medications and their vaccination record
