Noida to Jodhpur With a Dog
Around 10 hours of driving, roughly 640km. That is a long day and most people split it over two.
Covers both runs. The stretch out of Noida and the stretch back into it are the two parts worth timing.
Time on the road
Roughly 640km and about 10 hours, traffic depending. About 5 hours from Jaipur and 5 from Udaipur on decent highway. Flat desert driving. In summer this drive is dangerous with a dog unless done overnight.
Railhead if you would rather not drive: Jodhpur Junction, well connected.
Leaving Noida
Jodhpur lies south west of Noida, roughly 640km by road. Noida gets out easily eastward and painfully westward. The Yamuna and Noida Greater Noida expressways are among the better roads in the country, and the crossings into Delhi are among the worst, so a route that never touches the city saves an hour that no amount of early starting will.

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 covers the terrain underfoot, the access rules and the hazards nobody mentions until you arrive.
Veterinary access at the far end

Timing it from Noida
Delhi's climate: over 45C in summer, difficult winter air quality.
Diwali and summer heat.
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 10 hours this is a long day out of Noida, and most people split it. Two people make a long drive a different journey. One can sit in the back for the difficult stretches, and either of you can go into a dhaba without leaving a dog alone in a parked car, which on an Indian afternoon is the thing that must never happen. On a run this long it is close to essential.

October to March. Avoid April to June, because extreme desert heat.

Water and a collapsible bowl, their own food rather than a new one, the physical vaccination card, any medication, a spare lead, poo bags and an old towel. The vaccination card is the item people leave behind and then need.
