I too have taken food with me on the plane. I don't intend to feed Scooter while we are traveling but when I don't check my luggage, I have to. I put his canned food in a separate ziplock bag. I pulled it out and put it in the bin with my cosmtics when we went through security. The persn monitoring the scanner looked at it as it came out, saw it was dog food, and let it pass without issue. I then shoved it back into my bag and off we went. Dry food won't set off the scanner and does not need to be pulled out (I put a few cups in a ziplock for our trips).
How long will you be traveling? I don't give Scooter food while traveling because I can't let him out of his carrier if he needs to poop. I also don't give him much water because he also can't get out to pee. When we fly, the flying time varies depending on which airline we use. It is between 1 1/2 hours and 3 1/4 hours. He sleeps most of the time so he doesn't ask for anything. He gets food and water as soon as we land at the final destination though. I do keep treats in my purse for him in case he needs a little something. Before we go to the airport, he pees and poops so I know he won't need to on the plane.
Good luck with your trip.
