 flying
I had a similar situation about a month ago as I had to bring my three yorkies from New York to Colorado where I have relocated. The first flight was two hours, a small layover, and then another three hour flight. I brought them to my vet a week before the flight for a physical and he suggested a small sedative to be given a half hour before we left for the airport.
Each dog had their own small carrier which fit under the seat (we had three people travelling and each had a dog). Two of my dogs were pretty quiet and only Tea', the older one, was a bit nervous but she quieted down. I was really stressed out thinking that taking off would make their ears pop and hurt like mine have sometimes..but they were verrrrrry good.
At the layover I tried to get them out to use the pee pad but they were not interested.
I will say that I think the fact that our first flight was at 6pm and they usually go to bed around 9 anyway..that that was a better scenario as they were more tired to begin with.
