HI, thanks for for using Boop by Petco! I would start training her to a dog car seat around 12-14 weeks and hopefully have her comfortable and sitting it it full time by 6 months or sooner. Congrats on your new addition and good luck

Lots of dogs like to stand up in the car, usually to look out the window. It can be dangerous, however, so I would get Daisy a car harness. This will buckle her into her seat and keep her safe. You can find them online and at pet stores. I hope this helps!

Good on you for making sure Kiara is secured in the car when you travel so she stays safe! I think you should buy the Allsafe harness. I see that it has been extensively crash-tested for safety, and that will help protect her during the car ride. I hope this helps :-)

Other fun things are a safety blanket, collar and leash, id tags just in case, Benadryl tablets in case of sting etc at a rest stop, and sounds like you have the rest covered! Happy travels to you and Bella!

Whether or not it is safe to leave your dog at your sisters will depend on your dog. If he has never been around children before or has shown any aggression towards children, then it is less safe. No dog should be left unattended around children, so it is best if your dog hasn't been around the baby to keep it in an area separated from where the baby will be- either a separate area of the house or outdoors. Some dogs are fine with babies, others may be made anxious by the presence of a baby or they may view the baby as a prey due to small size and the funny noises the baby makes. Since your dog is so small, perhaps putting it in a pen inside your sister's house would work. He shouldn't be hard to contain due to his size. Whether you should bring him with you is going to depend on where you area going- do they allow dogs? will it be very hot outside? will you have to leave the dog in a car? It can get hot VERY quickly in a car in warm weather even with windows rolled down, so it is
