What determines the cost of Labradoodle shipping

Here's what you need to know about safely transporting your Labradoodle.

Mode of transportation

ratingGround travel

Cost $$$

Time ⏱⏱

ratingAir travel

Cost $$$

Time ⏱⏱⏱

Ground and air travel have different associated costs. Flying is typically the fastest option, but also the most expensive and taxing on your pet.

rating
Travel distance

The further you need to transport your pet, the more it'll cost. If you're using ground transportation, you'll have to factor in fuel costs, lodging, meals on the road and wear-and-tear on your vehicle. These costs are applicable whether you drive the pet yourself or you hire a transporter through CitizenShipper. Airlines charge more for longer plane rides as well. This is due to the cost of fuel and the need compensate pilots and flight attendants.

rating
Pet size

Smaller pets are easier – and less expensive – to transport. If you’re flying your Labradoodle, they’ll need to travel in the cargo hold if they’re over 20 pounds. You’ll also need to buy a USDA-approved crate, which can cost around $200. With ground transport, it’s easier for drivers to accommodate small pets.

rating
Health clearance and travel equipment

The first step to transporting your Labradoodle is ensuring they’re healthy enough to travel. Most species require a vet-issued health certificate to cross state lines. This will cost $50 to $300. You’ll likely need to purchase some equipment too – such as a crate and travel supplies.

Labradoodle: The Affectionate Companions

Origins and Temperament

The Labradoodle is a delightful cross between a Labrador Retriever and a Poodle, boasting a rich heritage that combines the intelligence and hypoallergenic traits of Poodles with the loyalty and friendliness of Labradors. While Labradoodles are generally known for their loving and sociable nature, these characteristics can also make them sensitive to the stress of travel. Ensuring they are well-prepared and comfortable is paramount when considering their transportation needs.

Size and Physical Needs

Labradoodles come in a variety of sizes, typically categorized into standard, medium, and mini. Regardless of their size, they are energetic canines with high exercise needs. Keeping in mind their physical robustness, a Labradoodle requires ample space and comfort during transport. Additionally, they'll appreciate occasional stops for stretching and relieving themselves, so plan for spacious accommodations and regular breaks during transit.

Common Health Considerations

Like many breeds, Labradoodles are predisposed to certain health issues such as hip dysplasia and eye conditions. When traveling, it's important to have their health documentation readily available, and to follow preventative care practices, such as regular stretching and stress minimization to keep these lovable pooches in top shape.

How to prepare your Labradoodle for transport

At CitizenShipper, we pride ourselves on making pet transportation a breeze. However, there are things you can do ahead of time to make your best friend’s trip safer and more comfortable.

Talk to your veterinarian

Your pet’s safety is number one – that’s why checking in with your vet before finalizing any travel plans is essential.

Can’t make it to the vet’s office in time? Conveniently video chat with a qualified veterinarian at FirstVet – one of our amazing partners.

Here are the questions you’ll want to ask your vet:

  • Is my pet healthy enough for transport?
  • Is my pet up to date on their vaccines?
  • Is my pet’s microchip still in place and scannable?

Health and Vaccination Records

Having current health and vaccination records on hand is critical during transport. Not only is this information often required for inter-state travel, but it is also essential in the event your Labradoodle needs veterinary attention while on the road.

Identification and Tracking

The safety of your Labradoodle is of paramount importance, and proper identification is key. Ensure your furry friend has a sturdy collar with an ID tag, is microchipped, and consider investing in a GPS tracker to maintain peace of mind about their whereabouts throughout the journey.

Comfort Items and Familiar Scents

When traveling, the familiarity of a favorite blanket or toy can significantly reduce anxiety for your Labradoodle. The presence of familiar scents acts as a calming reminder of home and can help soothe and relax your pet in unfamiliar environments.

Essential pet transport travel supplies include:

  • Food, bowls and fresh water
  • Collars and leashes
  • Waste bags
  • Medication
  • First-aid supplies
  • Any travel documents
  • A secure, USDA-approved travel crate

Traveling to a new place is exciting but stressful for your pet. Pack their favorite toys, a bed or a comfy blanket to help them enjoy their journey. Familiar items remind them of home and will soothe their anxiety.

Tailored Travel Tips for Labradoodle

Managing Anxiety and Stress

To help alleviate travel-induced stress, familiarizing your Labradoodle with their carrier or vehicle in advance can work wonders. Bring along a favored toy and consider a calming anxiety vest if your pooch tends to get nervous. Gentle, reassuring attention will also help maintain a sense of security.

Exercise and Bathroom Breaks

Due to their energetic nature, a Labradoodle will benefit from regular stops to exercise and use the bathroom. Aim for a break every 2-3 hours to keep them comfortable and prevent restlessness.

Temperature Control and Hydration

Maintaining a comfortable temperature and providing constant access to clean water will ensure your Labradoodle remains hydrated and at ease. Avoid extreme temperatures and monitor your pet closely for signs of discomfort.

Post Transportation Care for your Labradoodle

Adjustment to New Surroundings

Once the travel is over, give your Labradoodle ample time to become acquainted with the new setting. Their adaptable and friendly nature usually means they settle in quickly, but it’s important to offer plenty of affection and patience as they explore and adjust.

Monitoring Health Post-Travel

After reaching your destination, keep a close eye on your Labradoodle for any signs of stress or health issues resulting from the journey, and consult a veterinarian if any concerns arise.

Continuing Care and Routine

Re-establishing a regular routine of meals, exercise, and playtime will help your Labradoodle adapt and thrive in their new environment. Consistency in care is key to ensuring their happiness and well-being as they settle in.
