The dog will be exactly 60 days pregnant when they come back on the 25th of august . I keep advising her it can be very dangerous for her to fly with her yorkie but she thinks she will be fine . Advice ! What should I tell her ?!?! |

| I'm not sure about dogs...but I do know its not safe to travel at all in the last trimester of human pregnancy...so I would think it would be the same for a dog...What if her Bitch goes into labor and whelps, while she is in the Dominican republic, she won't be able to travel home for many weeks if that happens or if she goes into labor on the flight home..Flying with any pet is very stressful on them...the flight to the Dominican republic could cause her to go into premature labor and loss all the pups...A Bitch could go into labor and whelp puppies anytime after day 58....way to risky!!

| I would tell your friend to leave her bitch with a breeder she trust or board her at the Vets or cancel vacation all together for the safety of her bitch and pups, better yet!...Why did she even breed her if she knew she would be on vacation at whelping time? Thats was very irresponsible of her IMO.

| Why would someone go on vacation when they had a pregnant bitch at home? and then to want to take the dog with you?! This is why most people shouldn't breed- it requires sacrifice.

Donating YT 4000 Club Member | What would your friend do if the dog were to go in to distress mid flight? Why would someone think it's ok to put a pregnant dog on a flight, no matter how far off the whelp date is? Traveling, even under the best of circumstances, is stressful on a pet.

The slams weren't at you. They were towards your friend. I give you credit for want to talk with her. I would just take her dog and not give it back, but I'm abrasive and can be a bit of an @$$ sometimes. Try talking to her again, if you can maybe get ahold of the vet thae cares for her dog and see if they can maybe give her a call as well.

| It doesnt take alot of brains to know its best not to stress a dog at the end of their pregnancy and flying would stress her not to mention all the things that could go wrong if she went into labor, She sounds like some kinda breeder

| I thought a vet had to fill out a health certificate in order for a dog to fly. Am I wrong? (I've never flown a dog before). If so, it would seem that she would have a difficult time getting a vet to sign off on that.
