Pup on Ferry in rv....
So we have a new rescue and want to take her to Newfoundland with us (we've been there before).
The ferry poses questions...
But first...Mali is a female mix doberman (think smaller and a bit less polished...lol)...46 lbs. She is used to a crate, about 18 months old (at most and maybe a year), energetic but can chill. Day crossing (for my sake...didn't like the night and don't want to pay for a bed).
Would sedation be recommended? (not sure how I feel about this but want her voyage to be satisfactory). We have a crate to put her in. I do NOT trust her to not get into mischief while we are not in the rv:B if she is not in crate.
Do I feed her breakfast or not? SHE would not appreciate that as she is an eater! Might make her mess with her bedding...not sure.
We can run her the morning of the crossing and up until it is time to move onto ferry to get some jiggles out. BUT, when we get off, we are hoping that she will settle after awhile and after some more chuckit fun (we are not going far after the ferry due to her needs for exercise). She is good at holding her pee/poop so even though it could be a long time I am pretty sure she won't have accident.
Anything else I need to know? Paperwork yes...anyone have website for that....going into canada or I can google it.
Thanks!
Donna
