I think that's a better idea too, Eliza.
Jazzi, I doubt a new puppy will even know your voice that quick, but even if she did, she won't understand what you are saying yet.
It might make her cry louder even, if she can hear you but can't find you. No substitute for physical company in those first early days, IMO.
Could your sister not help for a couple of hours?
Or failing that, would it be worth not collecting her for a few more days?

Re: Best webcam/pet monitor?
I did explain sister would be at work. Brother lives in sheltered housing, where pets are not allowed. They won't have anywhere safe to put it. Don't forget I will have a run here in my flat, so there is no way it can be in anyone else's home! And it'll take me an hour or so turnaround to take it.15-11-2017, 09:49 PM

Re: Best webcam/pet monitor?
Jazzi, are you going to be crate training?And how long do you realistically think you are going to be out for?
When Alfie was a pup, I had to work ( pt , mr missy was full time). Ok I know this was a bit longer then you have, but I crate trained him. Got him used to sleeping and being comfortable and feeling safe in his crate, so I could leave him a couple ( seriously only two) hours alone to sleep
He was fine
Now your pup is only a baby so taking him out to wear him out is not really an option
. Do you have anyone who is prepared to come to the hospital with you and hold baby outside whilst you are being seen? Other option which sounds way out, is take pup with you. There really are no laws or by laws to say pups can't go into hospitals, shops etc, they are just local rules I've always taken my pups into shops, bars and restaurants, carrying them, never been refused but I have to admit not trying it at a hospital
If all else fails, try your vet. They may know of a sitter or offer to kennel for a couple of hours

Re: Best webcam/pet monitor?
I have repeatedly said that I have a pet run, which will be set up in the lounge. I sent the crate back as it was too big to fit inside the run.I am not happy about somebody coming with me to hold it while inside, because it won't be able to go on the ground. Besides which I don't have anyone I could have accompanying me.
My appointment time is 1.30. Would have to leave about 12.45, wait to be seen, then bus back. So maybe two hours, two and a half? Can't take her in case she needs to wee, so she needs to be indoors in her run.
Leave it with me, while I think...
(Blimming annoyed at the time, believe me!)
I'll check with the breeder if collection can be delayed.)
