I flew Nebo with me to Florida and back. It was a 4 hour flight, non-stop on Delta. It was very hard for me when I had to leave him but he seemed fine when I got him back. On the way home I actually was able to watch them load him in the plane from my seat and they were very careful with him and he didn't seem stressed out, he was just laying down looking around. I would much rather have him fly in the cabin with me of course, but he's too big for that. Where they put them is temperature and pressure controlled.

I would fly Nebo again, but ONLY non-stop and only if I was going to be at the destination for a considerable period of time...I think he'd rather sit through a flight then be left home away from me for weeks.

Tips for those going to fly dogs....freeze your water bottle, it will last longer (just don't drop it and break it like I did ) and try putting a kong with peanut butter and treats in with them. Nebo had licked his clean so I know it kept him occupied. If you fly with Delta pay for both ways all at once, they only charge you $100 total instead of $75 each way. Oh and also make sure to get your dog used to the crate he/she is going to fly in. I had Nebo stay in his (while I'm at work, he usually stays in a different, wire crate instead of the plastic one) for a few weeks before the flight.
