    Hi there
    Will be picking up our pup on Sunday, will be facing a 90 min drive home, other than not feeding it before leaving and stopping every 30 mins for wee/fresh air, any other tips?
    thanks

    Hi and welcome. Congratulations on your new puppy! :) I really wouldn't stop. Bring a cat box or some other suitable carrier. Take a couple of old towels, newspaper or puppy pads, wipes and bags for any mishaps. Soothe the puppy gently if they whine, or give them something to occupy them, puppy toy or chew. You will probably find the puppy will sleep the whole way. Sit someone next to puppy and off you go! :)

    Mostly have a few towels. I probably would stop once, if there is a good safe place. Cooper and her sister had an 8 hour ride in the cab of a Pickup with the breeder from the kennel in Ontario Oregon to Portland. Then another 30 minutes home with us. Years ago Tilly had about a 60 min ride with us from the breeder to home. We stopped once for her.
