Had a look around for this is the Forum and can't really find anything. What is the best way to bring home my new puppy? In a carrier? Just in the back of the car (parcel shelf taken out) or in someones arms in the car? I want it to be as stress free as possible and as nice an experience for everyone. Also we have a (nearly) 3 year old. Best to have her in the house when Mahsa comes home or out for a while? Recommendations? Comments?

I always have puppies in my arms on the way home - with a towel to catch accidents. We also have kitchen roll, wipes, plastic bags and water so we can clean up any disasters too. The last 2 puppies we've collected have just slept in our arms all the way home. Heart meltingly.

I took all mine home in a laundry basket in the front seat. I think I carried Zephyr most of the way because it was only and hour and a half, where as the other two were both 4-5 hours away.

Cheers MM. Sounds like a plan for the journey. But if the puppy is carried home, then that will mean Lily will MOST likely have to be in the car too... Hmmmmmm

I collected my first puppy on my own, so I put her in my cat basket on the passenger seat. Second puppy was an 8 hour or so journey, so I snuggled pup on my lap for a wee while just because I wanted to, and then she went in a soft crate on the back seat for the rest of the journey. Feebarn above was driving (thanks Fee ) I don't have kids, but if I did, I'd likely take them with me - it's the sort of stuff their memories are made of. I still remember going with my parents to collect a kitten when I was little and 'helping' hold it all the way home.
