So we decided to take Chewie with us in December. We are leaving for Europe for 3 and a half weeks, and we don't want to leave him in a kennel for so long or take advantage of our friends (again).
He is 8 lb and 1.5 years old and this will be his first flight. We are going with Lufthansa in a ~16 hours flight ( 8.5 fly + 2 layover + 1.5 fly + 2.5 layover + 1.5 fly ) and I am a little stressed. Anyone traveled in such a long flight with their dog?
I have a lot of questions like:
- should I feed him before /during flight?
- what is the procedure for potty?
- should I take some puppy boost in case he doesn't want to eat?
- should I look for another flight with a longer layover at the first stop? I have no idea how much longer the check will be because of him.
Any other advice would be appreciated. |
