I fly with my yorkies regularly....Make sure that your carrier meets airline approval, I use a Louis Vuitton carrier (with a soft cozy pillow) and it fits perfectly under the seat. Alert the airlines that you are traveling with a dog, this is to reserve your slot in cabin (some airlines have restrictions on how many can travel in cabin)....Make sure your pup is current on it's vaccinations and a health certificate may be required, dependent on where you plan to travel too. Rabies vaccination is not required for pups under 6 months of age. Make sure that you have a piddle pad, baby wipes, bottled water for when you land and a lead for potting. I don't feed prior to traveling as they can become airsick. But, for the most part once the plane has taken off, they sleep, no calmitives are necessary.
