Hyderabad to Jodhpur With a Dog
Roughly 1460km by road, which is around 23 hours of driving. Almost nobody does this by car with a dog. Train or plane is the sensible route.

Do not drive this one
Roughly 1460km. This is the distance at which the train becomes the obvious answer rather than the frugal one. Trains for Jodhpur run to Jodhpur Junction, well connected.
Leaving Hyderabad

Jodhpur in one paragraph
Very hot and very dry outside winter. Carry more water than you expect. The old city lanes are narrow and busy, which suits confident dogs and not nervous ones.
The full Jodhpur guide runs through access, restrictions, hazards and what the weather does month by month.
Veterinary access at the far end
Veterinary care available in Jodhpur city.
Ask the property where they send guests' animals. Front desks usually know, and they know who actually opens at night. Emergency vets by city.
Timing it from Hyderabad
Long hot summers, with heatstroke risk from March through June. Winters are comfortable.
Summer heat is the main risk. Bathukamma and Diwali bring noise stress.
Set that against Jodhpur, where the advice is to go october to march and avoid April to June. The overlap between those two windows is your actual travel season, and it is usually narrower than either one suggests on its own.
Doing this journey with your dog
At around 23 hours of driving this is two days each way, which is the argument for the train. Motion sickness shows up in the first hour and is worth testing before the day itself. Drooling, yawning and restlessness come before the vomiting, and a dog that shows them on a twenty minute drive will not enjoy 23 hours. Speak to a vet about it in advance rather than on the road. It is also the strongest argument for the train.
