Dogs traveling with us via airline in cabin

[borzoimom]

Well all the dogs I shipped were by Delta. The reason is that they have pressure cabins in the " cargo hold" so the dogs didnt get too cold etc. If they small, each of you could take one dog and carry on with you to be under your seats. ( mine were too big obviously). Try delta first. Remember they can NOT wear metal id's and ask the steward to bring water to give the dogs. Try for a direct flight- but if carry on, you can just move flight to flight. While the dogs have to be in crates, several trips I found people are curious and the stewards, and dont even care if you take them out to sit in your laps. If you need anymore help, pm me..

As long as your dogs are thoroughly familiar and comfortable in their carriers and have had sufficient opportunity to pee and poo before the flight they should do just fine and sleep through the trip.

Taking them out of the carriers during the flight wouldn't be a good idea. They could have an accident or be somewhat overwhelmed by finding themselves in the midst of so many strangers. We must always remember too that not all passengers are pet lovers.

Flying would probably be a whole lot more enjoyable than a 2 1/2 day car trip and a lot easier on the little guys!
