I am thinking about picking up my puppy and then driving back to my house which is a couple states away. Will this be to stressful ? I heard that it's not good to fly Shih Tzus because of the short noses. Is this true

by: Janice

Picking up a new puppy is very exciting, but the thought of having to travel hundreds of miles to get him home can be less than fun. I wrote a new article about puppy travel and you can find it here on this site at https://www.miracleshihtzu.com/puppy-travel.com.

I hope this answers some of your questions and alleviates some of your concerns. We meet puppy buyers frequently half way between their home and ours and it is always a fun excursion. Puppies travel well in cars, but if the distance is too great, flying is also real possibility.

Check out the article and let us know what you think.
