I was wondering because I thought an international flight might be too stressful for a little dog, and maybe staying at home would be better. In addition, I would be concerned with them being stolen, or attacked by wild dogs/animals, or picking up some disease.
Any thoughts?? |
|First India is a long flight. About 12 hours and often time a layover somewhere of a few hours.
My visits to India, didn't endear me to how they treated their dogs. Many wild and feral dogs roaming around in the cities.
I know some middle to upper class Indians do keep dogs in the home. But the streets are not that sanitary, and I never saw in 6mths of travelling through India anyone walking a dog.
If you have friends there, that you will stay with that also have dogs, that may be one thing. But still the flight is very long both ways.
I would seriously consider, leaving your pet with a trusted family member, if you are travelling to India.
