Hi all,

I just stumbled on this site while looking fro information on travelling with my pups!!! This place looks great and I cant wait to get to know you all!

Brief intro, Im Ruth 32 married to Don 36, currently live in Inverness Scotland but moving to Burlington New Jersey 29th December. Im a nurse so moving to work in USA and be near my sister who has lived their for 8 years. Other main reason for the move is after 8 years of trying for a baby, 14 failed IVF and many misscarriages my amazing sister is going to be a Surrogate for us!!!!!

Of course my pups are coming with us not sure how they will cope but hope they will be ok. Hence my questions we are flying United from London to Washington my pups are traveling in the cabin with us in their dog bags. Has anyone flown United with dogs how are they?

Also Im sure my little girl Lily will be fine but my boy Jake is nervous and shakes and tries to dig his way out the bag each time I try to get him used to it for a while. Has anyone ever sedated their dogs for flights? Do meds make them fall fast asleep or just relax?

Any advice or travel tips would be much appreciated. Look forward to hearing from you.

Ruth x
