| International Travel with Chloe? So, I am considering taking Chloe to Asia next year. I MIGHT get married overseas next year and I want Chloe to be part of it. I want her to be there!!! But it is possible?? It will be a looooong flight. I even wonder if she is allowed to be the plane for that long?? Will she have problem coming back to US? Anyone out there has travel with their furbabies internationally? If so, do you mind share your experience with me? Where can I find more info about traveling with pet internationally? Thank you for all your help in advance! |

| Congratulations! Where will you be going in Asia? The requirements vary. You can get an idea of what you will need and quarantine laws by going to this site http://www.pettravel.com/passportnew.cfm and selecting the country you will be visiting in the drop down menu. If you contact the embassy of the country you're going to they should be able to tell you exactly what you need so there are no mistakes. To return to the U.S. she will probably need a current health certificate. As for flying in-cabin that depends on which airline you will be using. United and Lufthansa are letting me take my fur baby to Italy in-cabin, but many airlines will not. If you happen to be flying through England your furbaby cannot go in-cabin with you due to England's strict rules. Contact the airline and they will be able to let you know if your baby can fly in-cabin with you and what size/type of carrier he or she will need. If they say yes make sure you reserve your baby's ticket right away as there is usually a 2 pet limit in-cabin for airlines. Good luck! Desiree & Eros |

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | I don't know what they allow in terms of mid-flight feeding, watering, stretching (they should move a bit during that long of a flight). I flew recently w/ Marcel and I took his bag to the bathroom w/ me and took him out for a bit. I bet you could bring her in the bathroom for a little food/water/potty/love session.

| I haven't yet I've just done the research and reserved his tickets for this December when we're going to Italy to visit my family. It will be his first time on a plane, but he usually travels well and just plays with his toy on my lap or sleeps. So hopefully he will behave on the plane too Technically, your baby is supposed to remain in his/her carrier during the entire flight. If you're lucky and get nice flight attendants they may let you take your baby out or pretend not to notice if you take your little one out to stretch or cuddle on your lap for a bit. The bathroom tip seems like something you may want to try and will probably be easier if your baby is pad trained If you have any breaks at airports you should take your baby to the bathroom as well and let her walk around a bit. Don't forget to take some nutri-cal with you. Desiree & Eros |

i went back to taiwan for a couple of weeks and i wanted to take her with me, until i read about the quarantine laws. the fact that they have to spend a couple of days in quarantine for health check-ups, shots, etc(and it can be expensive), made me rethink my decision about taking her. i left her with my boyfriend in Michigan.

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | The flight was about 2.5-3 hours - it was his first flight (he's 8 mths old). On the way out, the first 40 mins were just awful bc he was pawing at the bag, struggling to get out, tried to start whining - I was going crazy. He finally settled. On the flight home, I gave 1mL of children's Benadryl about 30mins before the flight and it made a WORLD of difference. I think it was much easier on both him and me! I also gave Pepto before both trips - about 1.5-2 hours ahead time (so as not to interfere w/ benadryl) for potential tummy upset. I brought one of those "hamster" bottles for water - you just store it in the carrier pocket upright, so it doesn't leak. That way, no bowl or anything needed - you can just put the little tip inside a small opening in the carrier and they can drink. Also bring nutrical and treats - to help them swallow a few times if they won't drink - this will help their ears. Bring baby wipes, a pee pad, dog food in case of plane delay. Good luck!

Oh, is that the law in Taiwan?? There isn't any quarantine laws in Hong Kong (I checked with that website). Normally, I won't take her, but if it is my wedding, I want to! | |

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | You could bring the pad outside near her favorite pee spot - she might want to go on it. Also, soak up some of her own pee on the pad so she knows what it's for. I have this bag (http://celltei.com/dibape.html), and it was FABULOUS! I have the leopard - I take off the backpack straps and I didn't even use the extra shoulder strap that I purchased - I just like the hand handle.
