Bailey9 Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Hi, just wanted to see if anyone out there had any ideas for the best way to toilet the pup on a long drive home. It will be close to 9 hours once we include stops for the pup. She'll only be 8 weeks so wont have had all her vacs. Wanting to see if anyone had a suggestion beyond the parks etc to minimise exposure to nasties! Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pomquest Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Hi Bailey9, I would take a small puppy pen, a sheet of plastic and a bottle of Trigene along with me and only let the pup go in the pen with the plastic underneath. You can put a puppy training pad or newspaper down on top of the plastic for her to go on. Then spray both sides of the plastic with the Trigene (it kills the Parvo virus) before you roll it back up and put it in the car. I'm a bit (read "alot") paranoid after losing pups not so long ago. We have a new pup now and no one is allowed in the house without taking their shoes off and they can't touch the pup unless they spray themselves with Trigene first. Good luck with your new baby S.

Where can I get Trigene from? I had a brief look online, but with no luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TangerineDream Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 When I brought Tango back from the Adelaide Hills, I stopped well out of towns and drove down dirt roads a short distance so I was effectively in the middle of nowhere each time...no problems at all.

Rebanne Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 don't stop at populated places, middle of nowhere, like TangerineDream says, is best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the advice guys. That's what I was considering doing. Just wanted to put it out there and see if other DOLers had some suggestions. Keep up the good work.
