What determines the cost of Puggle shipping

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

rating
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 Puggle, 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 Puggle 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.

Puggle: The Affectionate Companions

Origins and Temperament

The Puggle is a charming blend of a Pug and a Beagle, a breed mix that has been warming hearts since the 1980s. Known for their playful and loving nature, Puggles inherit the best traits from their parent breeds. They are intelligent and friendly, with a hint of the Beagle's curiosity and the Pug's sociability. This unique combination of traits means that a Puggle's travel needs often include frequent interaction and mental stimulation to satisfy their inquisitive mind.

Size and Physical Needs

Puggles typically range from 18 to 30 pounds, standing at 10 to 15 inches at the shoulder. This compact size requires ample space during transport to stretch and relax. Being active dogs, they require moderate exercise to maintain their health and happiness. Additionally, their short nasal passages can make them prone to overheating, so they require a comfortable, climate-controlled environment while traveling.

Common Health Considerations

Puggles may be susceptible to the common health issues of their parent breeds, including respiratory problems, obesity, and hip dysplasia. It is essential to carry up-to-date health documentation when traveling, including proof of vaccinations and a clean bill of health from a veterinarian. Precautions should be taken to avoid strenuous activity in extreme weather and to have any necessary medications readily available.

How to prepare your Puggle 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

Ensure that your Puggle's health and vaccination records are current, with copies stored in a secure but accessible place during transportation. This is crucial for verifying that all necessary preventative measures are taken to safeguard against disease during travel.

Identification and Tracking

A microchip, in addition to a secure collar with tags, is ideal for quick identification. Consider utilizing GPS tracking collars for extra peace of mind, ensuring that you can always locate your Puggle should they become separated from their transporter.

Comfort Items and Familiar Scents

To help your Puggle feel secure, include familiar items like their favorite blanket or toy in their travel kit. These items carry the comforting scent of home, which can significantly reduce travel anxiety.

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 Puggle

Managing Anxiety and Stress

Diminish any stress or anxiety your Puggle may experience by introducing them to their travel carrier well in advance. You can bring along their favorite chew toys, an anxiety vest if they use one, or apply calming pheromone sprays.

Exercise and Bathroom Breaks

Puggles should have a consistent schedule for exercise and bathroom breaks. Plan for a short walk and a potty break at least every 4 to 6 hours to accommodate their moderate exercise needs and help maintain regularity.

Temperature Control and Hydration

Maintain a comfortable environment within the vehicle, not too hot or cold, to cater to the Puggle's sensitivity to temperature. Provide constant access to fresh water to ensure they stay hydrated during the journey.

Post Transportation Care for your Puggle

Adjustment to New Surroundings

Once at their destination, allow your Puggle time to explore and become comfortable at their own pace. Familiar items from home will help ease the transition and provide a sense of security amidst the new setting.

Monitoring Health Post-Travel

Keep a close eye on your Puggle's behavior and health following travel. Any signs of distress or discomfort should be brought to a veterinarian's attention as they could indicate travel-related issues like anxiety or motion sickness.

Continuing Care and Routine

Establish a consistent daily routine similar to the one before the move. This helps your Puggle understand what to expect each day, providing them with structure and helping them settle into their new life seamlessly.
