What determines the cost of Toy Poodle shipping

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

Mode of transportation

Ground travel

Cost $$$

Time ⏱⏱⏱

Air 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.

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.

Pet size

Smaller pets are easier – and less expensive – to transport. If you’re flying your Toy Poodle, 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.

Health clearance and travel equipment

The first step to transporting your Toy Poodle 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.

Toy Poodle: The Characteristic Companions

Origins and Temperament

The Toy Poodle, a splinter breed from its larger Standard Poodle cousin, has graced the laps of French nobility since the 18th century. Primarily bred for companionship, these intelligent and loyal creatures are known for their alertness and sociability. Their emotional sensitivity and propensity for strong bonds make their travel needs unique, seeking comfort and reassurance over mere logistical solutions.

Size and Physical Needs

Weighing a dainty 4 - 6 pounds and standing up to 10 inches tall at the shoulder, the Toy Poodle's small stature means they require less exercise than larger breeds. However, safe spaces for stretching their legs and mental stimulation remain key. During transport, their petite form calls for secure, cozy environments shielded from larger animals and bustling activity.

Common Health Considerations

Toy Poodles are susceptible to genetic ailments such as hip dysplasia, epilepsy, and hypothyroidism. They require up-to-date health documentation for travel, and it is essential to employ preventative measures against travel-induced exacerbation of these conditions through careful planning and consultation with a veterinarian.

How to prepare your Toy Poodle 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 you have current health and vaccination records on hand. These are not only essential for your Toy Poodle's well-being but may also be required by law during travel, especially when crossing state lines.

Identification and Tracking

A microchip and visible ID tags are crucial for keeping track of your Toy Poodle. For added security, consider a GPS pet tracker to monitor your pet's exact location in real-time during transit.

Comfort Items and Familiar Scents

Pack your Toy Poodle's favorite blanket or a piece of your clothing. Familiar scents act as a calming agent, providing reassurance and a sense of safety 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 Toy Poodle

Managing Anxiety and Stress

To minimize travel-induced anxiety, bring your Toy Poodle's beloved toys and consider a lightweight anxiety vest for comfort. Refer to calming techniques, such as soft music or a gentle petting session, to soothe them.

Exercise and Bathroom Breaks

Schedule frequent, short exercise and bathroom breaks, ideally every 2 to 3 hours, to cater to the Toy Poodle’s small bladder and to help expend pent-up energy.

Temperature Control and Hydration

Toy Poodles are sensitive to extreme temperatures. Maintain a comfortable environment within the vehicle and provide ample water to prevent dehydration.

Post Transportation Care for your Toy Poodle

Adjustment to New Surroundings

Facilitate your Toy Poodle's transition to new surroundings by setting up a designated, cozy space upon arrival. Offer treats and engage in gentle play to encourage positive associations with their new environment.

Monitoring Health Post-Travel

Observe your pet for any signs of illness or distress following travel. Should any concerning symptoms arise, consult with a veterinarian immediately.

Continuing Care and Routine

Re-establish your Toy Poodle's daily routine, including regular meals, walks, and sleep schedules, to instill a sense of normalcy and security. Consistent care is paramount to their overall well-being in their new home.
