| Good Luck. Had you called back and spken to someone else, they might have been more helpful. I have found that to be true many times. If you don't like the answer you get from one person, call back and talk to someone else. Some people just like to ruin other peoples' days. |

| You can save on weight getting the lightest soft carrier available. I had to secure it over and above the zippers and velcro, because Maxwell (aka, Houdini) escapes otherwise. Good luck with your trip. |

Donating YT 11K Club Member | When I went to pick up Sophia in Chicago i booked the flight ahead of time and reserved her spot, i traveled Jetblue and they allow 4 dogs per plane. Sophia was the only dog tho i believe. Anyway the only time i had to take her out was to go thru security. They didn't even ask for her ticket or anything. After that to get on the plane, no one asked for her ticket, or if i even had a dog in there. No one even knew. I did have her ticket with me but it was completely useless. They also didn't even weigh her and the carrier, even though the carrier i had was a very light soft sided carrier from petco. They didn't even measure it or anything. I think traveling with 2 dogs would be fine but just let the airlines know. I plan to travel with both girls in the future as i like to travel a lot and visit family around the world. My advise tho is to def. have something reccomended by a vet to calm them down, like calm moments tablets or something! Sophia was so nervous and although she wasn't making any noise or anything she was shaking a lot! The worst was during take off and landing that i had to take her out to comfort her and no one said anything to me. It was hell to put her back in the carrier tho, she was scratching at me, poor thing. I even tried to give her treats and she didn't want anything, so next time i will take something for her. Also if the person next to you is not a dog person that sucks. The lady next to me didn't say anything but she kept looking at her like she had never seen a dog before!

| Hey Mizz, just be careful cuz its sooooo NOT easy to get 2 dogs on a plane with only one human! Thats where Im hitting all this trouble! Heck Im thinking about trying to find someone and pay them to walk one of the dogs onto the plane for me! HAHA (kidding) I put my boys on the scale yesterday, I seriously think my scale is broken! One weighs 9lbs and the other 6.5lbs??? Back in December when they were 1 year 4 months old, they were 4.2lbs and 6.2lbs! I don't know how or when or why they gained sooo much weight being older than that! So I think my scale is broken, seriously! (they are 2 years old now) They are skinny though! Anyways, so my point is, I really hope I get lucky like you and they do not weigh them! Cuz its 15lbs max and they are right now 15.5lbs and no carrier yet! YIKES!!!

| yeah my boys are full grown now and I am hoping that when I take them in for their health check that the vets scale will give a more accurate (and lower) weight! haha Now I just need to find a carrier big enough for them both, but small enough for carry on. UGH... this is not easy! Northwest allows 2 dogs if they are siblings under 6 months also. My boys are siblings (litermates) and never have been seperated since birth.... but they are over 6 months! I have NO idea why age factors into this!

| ohyeah! someone (maybe you) showed that one on another thread, I think yorkie products or something and I asked if they bought it to let me know what they think and if it could comfortably fit 2 dogs (remember they are 15lbs together) and if its durable and lightweight! If you do buy it, let me know! I love it!!! Thanks girl!!!

Donating YT 11K Club Member | No problem, i took tons of pics of it but i can't get them on my dumb computer! They are even sleeping in it now so i guess they love it. I also trained Sophia to jump in it when i say "Let's go bye bye". At first it took them a little bit to get accustomed to it cause it's soft sided and the juicy is hard sided, this one like falls on them while they are inside but its comfy and cozy inside, and i left it on my bed open so that they can go in and out as they please and get used to it. I will post the pics as soon as i can get them uploaded.

Donating YT 11K Club Member | K here are the pics! The sides have 2 windows and leather so you can close over them but they can still breath, i guess if you are trying to sneak somewhere. I tried to show how high it is, if i stretch it, it goes over their heads.

Donating YT 11K Club Member | There you go. My girls were looking scruffy, that was before their baths lol I'm not sure if your boys will both fit in it comfortable, i don't know how big they are but i know that Teddy, he's 8 lbs and he hates carriers, but even if i put him in it with just one of the girls he won't be comfortable. But for just him alone it is good.
