| I flew on United or US Airways from Phoenix to SFO with my (at the time) 12 year old yorkie, Tahoe, in a carrier under my seat. I paid like $80 each way for a special ticket for him, but it was worth not having to kennel him. I gave him a tranquilizer (only about a 10th of what they advocate) to relax him for the flight. Many people exclaimed, as we were getting off the plane, "OMG, I didn't even know you had a dog with you this whole flight!". My Tahoe is a good boy. ~ Kelly

| It is true that some airlines will not allow animals. We flew American from Las Vegas to Dallas- about 2 1/2 hr flight - with Tessa in her soft sided carrier under the seat in front of us. She did fine. The vet had given us medication to calm her if we needed it, but only used it coming home because she did seem a little stressed for the flight out. I would only take my puppy if I could have her with me. |

I don't know if you are aware. I am not sure of Southwest, however, most airlines don't charge for emotional support animals. My lil Rocco travels back and forth monthly with me on my lap. I have had some rude attendants shout across the rows that he must be in a carrier. I quietly try to advise that that he is a support animal. I once had one argue he was service not support. I went home read their website, and he in fact was a support not service on their particular airline. Service animals are like seeing eye dogs. Maybe she should check the website. Ha ha. Anyway happy traveling with your baby. | |

| Greenies are bad Earlier up on this post -- someone mentioned the danger of Greenies....my Lhasapoo LOVES these...and we just got a new Yorkie puppy over 4th of July -- he's healthy and happy and now 4 months. He getting nice and big too and strong, at a strapping 5 1/2 pounds now! (So happy he's not teeny). Anyway, view the following websites for some insight on the dangers of Greenies...after a few hours reading these sites and crying my eyes out, I went straight into my kitchen to toss the bag I had and have vowed to never give these to my babies again.... Greenies Are the dogs treats Greenies bad for dogs? - Yahoo! Answers Are Greenies bad for my puppy? - Yahoo! Answers My lhasapoo has a very sensitive stomach (or so I thought) cause he vomits easily...but always is said to be incredibly healthy at his yearly vet checks. I'm seriously considering having a stomach X-ray this year to be sure there aren't undigested greenie bits still in his stomach/intestine.... I might be over-reacting, but my dogs are my babies and after my husband, they are the most important little guys in my life.... |

YT 500 Club Member | TWilson, you should try posting this in the General Discussion section. This thread is really, really old. THere is concern about Greenies because pieces can break off and either get lodged in the throat, or be too large to pass through the intestines, causing a blockage that could result in emergency surgery or death. Many people still feed Greenies. I personally don't, but I do closely supervise my dog when she's eating any bully stick/chew that could break off in chunks.

| Dog food taken by a customs' agent A few years ago, I brought my family’s dog, a German Shepherded, to the US from Mexico. When we passed through customs, the agent asked us to give up all of her food and told me that we could not bring any food into the US with us. I had to get rid of all of her food. My German Shepherded is not longer with me. Today, my husband and I have a yorkie terrier, Cleo, and we want to travel with her to Mexico. She is on a very strict diet. If we change her diet, she get diarrhea immediately. If she goes with us, we will need to bring her food, how can I ensure that her food is not taken away? I’m not sure I can buy the same type of food in Mexico and I sure do not want to have a puppy with diarrhea either. What should we do? |

| My family has flied to Mexico many times. We've never dealt with this situation, but we've often sent items to our Hotel conceirge that we knew would be difficult or annoying to get through customs, like baby food, etc. The hotel held the food for us until we got there. Don't see why yuo couldn't do the same with your puppy food. I didn't realize you could fly to Mexico with a pet.....I would love to bring out lilttle lhasapoo and Yorkie to Cancun!! |
