Also, every where I go she will go. I can't really think of a time she will be alone. My main concern is how do I handle her if she freaks out in the plane and what to do with food. I have some excellent suggestions. I hope my little one is able to fly with me. |
When we fly we use Acepromazine and an OTC called Bach Rescue Remedy for dogs. The combination of the two gets us through up to about a 5 to 6 hour flight with airport time. We try not to give the meds until we are through security and about 30 from boarding the plane. We give with a little food a lots of water or for some reason it doesn't seem to get into her system. The effect is variable, but mostly effective. I keep a piddle pad with us and if she gets antsy I'll take her to the bathroom and put a pad on the floor. She complies quickly. You should talk to your vet and try any medication prior to flying so you know how your pup reacts and find what works best. The Rescue Remedy can be a nice combo.
