One time I took Stella with me. It was a pretty, long flight we went to New York from SF. I did not give her any food and she slept the all time. When we arrived she ate like a pig!

I wouldn't feed hard food. You don't want him/her needing to poop. I've brought Nutrical before, and it worked like a charm. It elly calmed Jack down when he was freaking out. Security didn't question it, either. If possible, get a note from your vet saying it's necessary.

i put dry food in a baggie and put it in the side of the carrier. i had nutracal in my purse in a film cartridge. it was fine and i did set my puppy on my lap and unzipped a corner of the carrier once and fed her some dry food from my hand.

I just flew with my BitBit. You can bring Nutrical and food. In an airlined approved bag. You should be fine! Make sure you have a reservation for your baby. There is a limit of 3 pets per cabin and if it is full..... you will not be able to bring your baby.

Does anyone know if it will cause extra to fly your pet? or it's the same? i heard that they're placed away from you and there will be someone else taking care of them.

Im sorry was trying to help and asnwer your question but im not sure i understand it.

Are you flying with your pet? If so they go in a carrier under the seat in front of you.

Or do you mean you are shipping your pet and not flying with it?

You will have to call the airline you're flying with and reserve a spot for your dog as soon as possible so it can fly in-cabin with you under the seat in a soft-sided carrier that won't leak. Otherwise, if there's no room available in-cabin the dog will have to fly in the cargo hold in a hard crate.

You are fortunate that you have the health certificate because I don't know of any airlines that will allow your pet in the cabin without it. Even to fly in the cargo, you need a certificate. Good luck. PS You will have to take the kids out of the bag, hand carry them through security while they are scanning the bag. Some of the security people may even "pat down" your dogs. Keep your leash attached once you they are out of the bag.
