Looking back, I still wouldn't. When landing I knew what to expect, so I started petting & rubbing her before all the noise from engine started. She did alot better. Flight back did the same on take off & she did just fine. Slept during the flight. I would recommend some kind of small battery powered fan for your yorkie. Wish I had one on that flight. Good Luck. As long as you know what to expect & be prepared for it, it'll be fine. You might even try keeping your yorkie on your lap but take a small carrier in case the attendent says anything. |
My first Yorkie was 10 yr when she took her first flight. I did give her a 1/4 of Benadryl. I didn't on the way back b/c i think it did more harm than good. She was a very calm, non hyper, non barker dog so i figured she would be the saem on a plane as long as i was there and she was GREAT...
My two now have flown GREAT with no meds required... I did as the post above and kept my hand in the bag on take off and right before landing
You'll do fine
