| Flying with your Yorkie At some point (hopefully this fall) I am going to visit my family in the Netherlands. And I would love to take Trixie with me. Has anybody taken their yorkie overseas before? Do they let you take the yorkie with you in the cabin? (I really don't want to put her in cargo or ship her that far) Which airline is most dog friendly? |

| well travelled The furthest I have travelled with Merlot is Alaska and we are from Cali. He's flown all over the U.S and I always take him in the cabin with me! We have used Continental, Delta and Alaska airlines all of which will allow you to take your pet onboard, so long as you have them in an approved carrier and they fit under the seat in front of you. I use a Sherpa bag from Petco that works well, but there are others. Just make sure to let him get in it and hang out days before the flight so that he is used to it. |

| I did some research for you and this is what I found: On 3 July, 2004 the EU introduced a mandatory EU Pet Passport for transportation of cats, dogs and ferrets within the EU. The Netherlands was among the countries that have harmonised the rules to take into account EU regulations on international travel with these animals. Note Pit Bull terriers and associated cross breeds are not allowed into the Netherlands. To bring your pets into the Netherlands you require a "pet passport" (dierenpaspoort), which is available from veterinarians in all EU and most western nations. The pet passport is both a certificate of health and proof of immunisation that is required by the Dutch customs authority for leave to enter the country. The animal must be vaccinated against rabies at least 28 days before the departure date. In some countries the vaccination is no longer valid if it is older than 1 year. You dog, cat or ferret will also require a special identifying microchip or tattoo and the certificate must include details about this. The animal(s) will not have to go into quarantine if the animal(s) has or have the proper paperwork upon arrival. Check with the airline to ask if the animal can travel with you in the cabin or whether it must go in the hold. Cats, dogs and ferrets not accompanied by their owners are considered commercial trade and must be examined by a veterinarian within 24 hours before departure for the Netherlands and must travel with a certificate stating the date and time of the exam. The animal will be examined again by a vet on arrival. Taken from this site: Site |

| Delta Airlines, American Airlines and Continental Airlines let you take your pet with you in the cabin as long as they are on a pet carrier Airline Approved. You have to pay an extra 75 dollars for you dog to fly with you.
