Any advise will be greatly appreciated
Ask your vet about giving him some benadryl for the flight. Once you go through security you can give him some. It usually makes Levi sleepy. I have done this a couple of times on flights. Also make sure you "practice" the benadryl a few times before your actual flight, just to make sure it agrees with your dog. Your vet will help you with the dosing.
