Now you will need an airline approved carrier for your gal. Look at what airline you will be flying with, and they should have the details - ie measurements n such on their website. I used a over the shoulder soft pet carrier when I flew with my Razzman.
Take a couple of soft liners for your carrier - both for warmth and in case of accidents.
Water - for a Yorkie - just a bottle of spring water should be enough for your trip.
Food - Deb will probably give you some of the kibble she has been on - ask in advance what that is and pack with you another baggie of that kibble. In case - it is winter time and with weather who knows if your flight gets delayed.
Other treats - you can cut up very small pieces of veges, very tiney amounts of cheese.
Nutrical or Nutridrops - purchase some and bring it with you.
Harness and Leash - bring them with you. And weepads in your luggage.
I can't remember where I changed flights but there was a doggey exercise area at the airport. Check it out when you book your connecting flights.
When you go through security, they will ask you to remove your pet from her carrier, and you walk through with her. Be prepared for that.
I would make sure I have her medical records with me, and of course the contract of sale - Deb will of course give you all of that.
I am so excited for you! Post pics as soon as you can! |
Thank you so much for the information. I did not know there was a fee. Of course when I booked I did not know that. I do now and the fee is $125. Thank you for the heads up!!!!
