Congratulations on your new puppy. I bet you are really excited to finally bring Beau home. |
I know the via rail in Nova Scotia does not allow dogs... they have to go in CARGO... which is BAD! please make sure you know the rules for your local train. If your train does not allow does in a carrier with you, then that is not a safe option for a new pup.
I do think that small does can go on the subway if that's what you're talking about, cause my friend lives in toronto and said she say a cute puppy in a carrier on there.
I would go for the car rental if it were me... that's why I went out and bought a car when ours died.... just so that I could safely get Harley to and from places. (yes spoiled dog).
Also for carriers/crates.... Harley has ALOT for one small dog, here are my views for what we have:
- plastic collapsable carrier (walmart) - I use this one for the car. It's a little bigger than he needs, but we also use it for travel to my mom's house, ít connects to his xpen.
- collapsable expen - its a pop up one that folds up the size of a laptop. goes awsome with platic carrier
- Purse - this is his soft sided airline carrier. I fly WestJet with him at least once a year and I believe on westjet and aircanada you are required to have a soft sided carrier, also my purse for him is very pretty and I use it to smuggle him into offices and the drug store if I need to get him somewhere he isn't allowed. My only complaint is that the edges of it don't have enough support, so if I'm on the airplane it squishes down on him a bit.
-Large crate - I also have a large wired crate that has a divider. It's designed for about a 50lb dog
But that is Harley's home he loves it and often redectoates by relocating all the beds and toys in there.
- airline carrier... I noticed at Bark and Fitz (which I believe you also have in toronto) that they have a new airline carrier that is collapsable like my xpen. it is georgous and was only $60... Harley may be getting this one for christmas.
Sorry for the long ramble, but good luck with your pup! I always love seeing new Canadians on here.
