Breyli is a frequent flyer. She even has her own earset for when we fly in my friend's plane. As far as commercial airlines, I would recommend flying in-cabin and not cargo (Breyli's never done cargo). In-cabin, you will need a soft-sided carrier that fits under the seat in front of you. Check your airline for measurement maximums. Also, you will need to go to you vet within 10 days before your flight for a heath certificate if you are flying from one state to another. As long as you return within 30 days, the vet heath certificate should be good, otherwise you will need to go to a vet and get a new one before you make the return trip.
Usually, I am able to take Breyli out and hold her during flight (not during take off or landing) but I don't think it is really "allowed"
I've never given Breyli any medicine for flights. She is pretty good and just lays there or falls asleep. Try to get your dog to "go potty" before check-in and I would recommend letting her go again as soon after you land as possible. Breyli never peed during flight but i always had a folded pad in her carrier just in case along with clean up supplies and a baggy for easy disposal. |
