But don't know how it'll work out until I get seated & look things over. Flight is 2 1/2 hrs. I'm concerned about her getting cramped. Second concern is will she get sick or develop ear ache from the altitude?
Thanks for any help.
Your bag sounds fine. We took Ginger to Arizona a few weeks back. She was a little freaked out. She panted the entire time. I think all the sounds scared her. Our vet gave us some puppy sedatives so I gave it to her for the flight home and it seemed to help her relax. I recommend giving it to your puppy an hour before the flight. No sickness or earaches from what I could tell.
