UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES should your dog go through the Xray machine. Believe it or not, one YTer did this.

I am not sure what customs issues you will have to face. It might be too hard to go outside. If so, you should have wee-wee pads. Go to a quiet part of the airport and take your little one out of the sherpa bag to use the wee wee pad. If they are pet friendly, I recommend a little walk up and down the concourse.

I have traveled many times with Edie, and we never used sedation. However, on such a long trip, I would consider it.
I'm going to take him outside in Amsterdam and walk him around for a bit, weather permitting. It's always gloomy and rainy there. If going outside is not an option, I will bring lots of pee pads with me and let him go in the bathroom.

I actually was curious about the x-ray machine. I'm glad you mentioned it. As far as sedation goes, would you recommend Rescue Remedy?
