I've taken my carrier INTO the bathroom, on the plane - to see if he wants to potty, drink water (do NOT give water from the plane's faucet though), take him out for a bit.
For flight travel, I bring: pee pads, baby wipes, extra towel, brush, extra dog food (in case of major delay), small treats, Nutrical, "hamster" water bottle, childrens benadryl, chew toy, pepto, id tags, harness, leash.....I THINK that's it.....  |
Thank you for the list. And Stewartslucy - thank you for the insight!! I started a thread last week - about travel - because I'm trying to do this with 2 small yorkies in one bag. Flying Northwest to Florida & trying to make sure the dogs make it ok.
Has anyone flown Northwest?? I had to prepay for their ticket. I bought one ticket for both -- I'm concerned about what happens when I get to the airport. Will they want to see the dogs out of the carrier at the ticket counter?? Will they weigh the dogs & the carrier - the gal I booked the ticket thru insisted I had to tell her how much the bag would weigh & I had to guess because I haven't bought the carrier yet.
I realize I will have to take them out to go thru security. But what happens at the gate? Do they check the dogs again?? And once on board, do the flight attendants know who is bringing a dog on board? Will they come & check on us?? Also, Northwest says they don't require a health certificate, but I'm trying to figure out whether I should get one anyway, just in case.
OP - sorry, didn't mean to steal your thread!
