OK I will weigh in on this.
First- I would never put my pup in cargo and certainly not for that long.
Second- encouraging a child's unreasonable anxiety is not in the best interest if the child. Therapy may be called for in that area.
Third - I write prescriptions for ESA AND Service Dogs quite frequently. And, if is meant no cargo i would do whatever to keep them out of cargo! And that is a looong trip.

Understand that your dog must have the temperament to be well behaved on the plane. The flight crew has the right to remove the dog if is is distributive in their eyes.

Also, understand, once you leave American terrritory the US ADA laws no longer apply!

If you will PM me with your email,address I will send you a copy of the prescription I write so folks can keep the pets with them on the plane.
