Glenn, Kathy's right... Use a small crate. Last summer, I was in an accident
with a puppy on board and the fact that he was in a small crate saved him from
injury. This same puppy had been imported from Hungary and survived that trip
just fine. The pup will feel more safe and secure in a smaller crate too.
I wish you and the puppy the best. And, have a safe trip.

Hi Glenn
Congratulations on your puppy. :-) Not to worry little guys are very
resilient. Use a smaller crate..as if Heaven Forbid you should get into an
accident, you want to limit the amt of room the puppy can be thrown. I
wouldn't feed the puppy prior to going unless it is waaaay prior. If she
gets car sick you can give some ginger, like ginger snaps, or ginger candy
just a little. I would put maybe some pine shavings either in the crate or
have it in a bag to cover "oopsies" Also have a cleanner (non toxic) dilute
in a bottle in case the crate needs a clean up. We generally will put Dawn
or Orange wonder in a spray bottle, very dilute. Clean and deoderize crate
or puppy.
Take towels to wipe down and paper towels. Take plastic bags to dispose of
soiled everything.
Take a small water bucket.
We had a bitch shipped at 9 weeks all the way from Frankfurt Germany..an 11
hour plane trip and another 3 in customs....she came out undaunted, lol.
