If you must take him with you, I'd suggest a belly band, but I strongly suggest you reconsider taking him so young. There are just too many things that could happen to any small dog that young.
I agree. At eight weeks should your puppy should still be with his mother. He is too young to have had vaccinations yet and if he did get them, they aren't effective since he still had immunities from nursing. As Kristy said, he is still at a high risk for hypoglycemia.
