Long-distance transport of a puppy can easily cause carsickness and stress because its body is still developing and relatively weak.
It may show carsickness signs such as dizziness, nausea, vomiting, drooling and loss of bowel control.
If the puppy is very tense or anxious, a stress response can lower overall immunity and cause other health issues.
Before travel, ensure the puppy is healthy, and during the trip provide necessities such as water, food, toys and a comfortable bed to prevent discomfort.
