Have you flown with your dog before? How was your experience?!
@cutiepatotiex333 жыл бұрын
So after watching you video and getting the courage to try to fly with my dog. We were able to fly! He is a whopping 30lbs and each time I flew the Southwest ticket agent said he might be too big, but he was able to turn around in the carrier. The first time the agent called the supervisor. He immediately said it was fine. On the way back, the ticket agent asked my dog to demonstrate that he is able to turn around in the carrier. Of course my dog was being stubborn at that time, but eventually listened. Even after he turned around, the agent said to wait so she could check with someone because she wasn't convinced. She to the back to check with someone and we were left waiting a good couple of minutes, but eventually came back and said "okay I'll let you go." All and all, it was pretty stressful, but I think if you hold your ground they'll be fine. The only problem I had with flying with the carrier is that when I tried to expand it, my dog tried to get out from the mesh and climb onto my seat so I ended keeping the expandable sides zipped up. My dog was not a first time flyer; however, he gets nervous at times like take off, turbulence, and landing. CBD helped a little bit on the way there, but I doubled the dose on the way back and he was very relaxed. I'm not sure I'd fly again because it was a bit stressful for me, but it is possible! So thanks for giving me the courage to attempt it!

For Southwest: Bottom line it depends on the person at the airline ticket desk when you pay for your dogs reservation on outgoing flights. If they question the size of your dog ask for a supervisor, but be kind. If the supervisor gives the ok you are good to go, as they can’t deny the dog to fly on the return flight. I was able to fly 10 times with my dog until one airline ticket desk employee put a note on my account saying my dog is too big to fly. You are at any given persons mercy. It was good while it lasted. This is for dogs greater than 20lbs but less than 30lbs who are well behaved. Highly recommend getting TSA precheck when flying with a pet.

In case any ones ever wondered, service dogs are not registered or required to be certified under the ADA in the US. Service dog handlers are now required to fill out paperwork that attests to the dogs training and the required task(s) that the dog has been trained to perform to assist the disabled handler with. I believe the airlines can now unfortunately limit the size of service dog that is allowed to fly which places limits on flying with a larger mobility service dog

I have to say, this is BY FAR the best "flying with your dog" video out there. Especially for a dog that's on the fringe, pushing the envelope of size. We have a 20-ish-pound Border Terrier that definitely grew much larger than most Borders do. We are planning on traveling for the holidays to see our grandkids and family in Arizona and want to bring our dog with us. We have been stressing about it because a lot of the "recommended" carriers seem very small. We are trying out several, but this video made me feel much better about what to expect. One point I would add is that the dimensions most airlines give for carriers are "suggested" or "recommended." If it's a soft-sided carrier and will fit under the seat with some collapsing, it's not as strict as it sounds, within reason. Nice job on this.

I have a 20 lb miniature schnauzer that I’ve flown with several times from Orlando, FL to San Juan, PR which is a 2 ½ to 3 hour flight. Even in the “care free” days where any animal counted as an emotional support animal and people would just bring them in the plane, I would pay for his ticket, which meant that his carrier would count count as one of the two carry-ons that I could bring and had to go under the seat. I flew Southwest with him because the seats are a bit higher than other airlines (especially the middle seat) and his carrier would fit better. I used a size Large carrier that I got at Petco that is airline approved and he fit comfortably in it. I would ask the vet for calming medication 💊 to give him an hour or so before the flight and that would keep him calm. Per the vet’s recommendations, I made sure he ate and had plenty water the night before the flight and did all his “business” (#1 and #2) before leaving for the airport and wouldn’t feed him or give him water until arrival at the destination. Your video was very thorough and my experience making reservations for my dog, purchasing his ticket at the counter, and going through TSA with him was similar to yours, except that I have TSA Pre-Check and that line moves faster. I don’t fly with him anymore because now I have 2 miniature schnauzers and airlines only allow one dog with a passenger. I agree that the experience can be noisy and confusing, so if your dog is easily startled or is not confortable with other people and especially kids being near, you should not bring him/her with you.

Flying your dog in the cargo hold is an absolute last resort. A good friend of mine is a pilot... he's confirmed all my concerns and more about the cargo hold. Even when everything goes right, it's still a god awful environment. They're alone. It's dark, extremely loud and cold. Lower oxygen levels. Etc. Then... if any smoke/fire alarm goes off for the cargo hold, the pilots have to cut off oxygen to prevent a fire. That means any living things down there aren't going to survive.

@@taty87 Sorry for the late update, but it all went well! It was very stressful for me because it's just my baby girl and me - nobody else to help juggle luggage, etc. Thankfulky, there was always a kind person on my flights to help me if I needed to lift my carry on up into the bins or out of them (especially when they were short on space with packed planes - and when some space may be several seats away from me). Let me back up, though. Our flight out was at 6:55 a.m., so I didn't feed my dog that morning and gave her only a little water. She pooped and peed outside before we got in the car to the airport. Once at the airport, at the check in/ticket desk, nothing was said about my pup in her carrier size or weight-wise. In fact, they said how much they loved my dog (despite the fact that they likely saw me have to shove her in the carrier. At the last minute, she decided she didn't want to be in there.). I paid for my 1 checked suitcase and my dog's $125 fare (1 way only), then got a green tag to put on her carrier showing I had paid the fare and agreed to their rules (that the dog must stay inside the carrier at all times while on the plane or in Delta boarding areas). It was a looong line to and in the TSA line, and I didn't anticipate how heavy it can be carrying a 20lb dog in a Sherpa Deluxe carrier all that time. I was stronger on the flight back, but the initial trip saw me hurting for a few days afterward. While we waited in line, I let my girl have her head out of the carrier. I got my items for the bin all in one place, and the. I gave her the sedative (Trazadone) while in line, and it started working on her almost immediately. She was very calm through TSA, and she even sat still in her carrier after I put her ona nearby table to retrieve my items from the conveyor belt. At the gate, I sat there with her as she calmly sat in her carrier with the top unzipped until it was time to board, and then I zipped up the bag fully. Once I got her down on the floor and under the seat in front of me, I unzipped it just a small amount so she could get a little more air and not feel so trapped. Since she was understandably a bit anxious and unsure what all way going on, I'm sure she was a little warmer than usual. The plane's A/C doesn't fully come on until a bit later, so I tried to aim my air vent above me toward her on the floor. Our first flight was Orange County, CA to Atlanta at 4.5 hours. The steep incline at takeoff was a bit scary for her at first, so I stuck my hand on her carrier to pet and reassure her, giving her some occasional bite sized treats. I found myself hunched over and with my hand in the carrier for most of the flight - especially when we encountered a long bout of terrible turbulence over the midwest. At one point, she pushed my hand out and begged to be let out. When that didn't work, she got her teeth on the carrier opening to try to bite it open. She managed to push herself 3/4 of the way out of her carrier mid-flight, so I was trying to push back against a very strong and strong-willed 20 lb dog. I eventually got her back in, and nobody was the wiser. That was all the hardest part of the round-trip flights with her. In the Atlanta Airport, there is a service dog relief station in every terminal (hooray ATL!), she peed 3x in the 3.5 hours we were there on layover, but I couldn't get her to poop. On the 1.5 hr trip from ATL to Orlando, FL, she did much better. Of course, 15 minutes before landing, she barked at me telling me she REALLY had to poop. 😖 I pet her and begged her to hold it, and she did. Sadly, she refused to go on a potty pad in the bathroom despite really needing to go, and she decided to poop once we got toward the center of the airport outside our terminal. 🙄 I blame MCO for only having 2 service dog relief stations - ones that are located outside of baggage claim. On the way back to OC, she did great, but again, she refused to poop on a potty pad or in the potty station. The flight from ATL to OC saw her bark at me an hour before we landed, telling me she had to go NOW. Again, I begged her to hold it, and she did. After showing no love to the potty pad in the restroom, I asked security at TSA where the relief station was, and that is when she decided to poop. Just FWIW, the only relief station John Wayne Airport has for dogs is....outside baggage claim on the lower level. It's just some fenced in astroturf, too. I expected much more from my home airport. But all in all, once she made it through the initial flight, she did so much better. And she will still willingly go in her carrier after all of that. 😅

She liked trotting around the airport on leash, having tons of attention. I did not push any limits with her, but no one was weird about her doing anything that is within the bounds of normal dog ettiquette. The only issue was that when people see the carrier they want to see your dog, and I get it because they are missing their own pets. It is best once you are on the plane to keep your doggo hidden. At security one of the TSA agents asked to show her to her supervisor. The next thing I know my dog is gone and the entire security crew is fussing over her. If you don't take them out of the carrier then you will have people trying to peek in. Honestly, if you have a mellow dog who likes people there are worse things, but if your dog is weird about people or gets overstimulated you need to consider that.

I have to fly with my chihuahua later this month, and I’m super nervous about it. She’s having heart surgery to repair a defect she was born with. We have to do it. She won’t survive if we don’t. Also, we thought about driving her instead of flying, but it be a two day trip if we drive while it will take only one afternoon if we fly.

Under the new DOT rules the service dog must fit within the area of your feet. You do have to state on the DOT document when your dog had its shots. I have an 84 lb yellow lab which can curl into a ball, though I fly with my wife so he can stretch out.

Thank you so much for this thorough video on how you travel with your dog! My pug is about same weight as Willo and is actually pretty tall for a pug so he can fit in his carrier only if he's laying down and unfortunately, pugs are not allowed to fly in cargo so I was definitely paranoid even considering flying with him because of his size. But it is relieving to hear about your experience travelling with Willo.

This video provides a great indepth view on preparing and boarding your flight with your pet. I have a cat with carrier anxiety and always throws up and poops during travel. I was looking for a video on how to prepare for clean up on the plane. My guess is you take your pet in the bag to the restroom with pet wipes. For carrier cleanup. I would go with cheap hand towels. Ones you are willing to toss in the event of a accident. Once in the restroom, I would use the baby changing station to place the carrier on. Let your pet out and clean them first. Then let them walk around the bathroom while cleaning your carrier on the changing station. I would avoid using the fuzzy mats that come in some carriers as they would be difficult to clean with just wipes and too bulky to toss in the bathroom trash. A cheap towel would be easier for that. If you travel with a collapsible bowl, try using that in the sink if you need to rinse parts of the carrier. Once cleaned, place a new towel for your pet to lay on. For additional tips on pets with anxiety, there are medications, over the counter CBD treats, and calming sprays that can help your pet relax before and during the flight.

When I've flown with my dog in the middle seat, the flight attendant wouldn't allow his carrier to be in the foot area saying that the person in the window seat needs to be able to get up to use the bathroom if they needed it. She made me shove him far under the seat, but his crate wouldn't fit completely under there even though it was within in their size requirements, and I didn't want to make him feel more anxious. There wasn't anything I could do. Luckily the person in the window seat said it wasn't a big deal, but the flight attendant gave me such a headache, and because of all the movement, my dog ended up getting sick and throwing up, which did not help the situation with the attendant. Delta is really hit or miss with how attendants treat you and your dog, even when your dog's ticket costs more than yours.

I'm moving overseas. Leaving behind my pug is not an option. I was supposed to leave when they changed the laws. I had to cancel my contract because I started to have panic attacks. Come to find out I have Generalized Anxiety Disorder. I could in theory make my pug a service dog, but he shows food aggression with other dogs so that is no go for a service dog. Luckily, some airlines have changed weight policies to where I should be able to take him on plane, though he is still on a diet to make it as safe as possible as extra weight makes a long flight more dangerous for snub-nosed dogs. My anxiety after finding this out is mostly non-existent and I feel a lot better. Now if the laws hadn't changed I wouldn't have to go through a bunch of therapy, but I probably would have had issues overseas adjusting without knowing how to cope. So it all worked out in the best way probably. I am a little anxious about the security part not because he's a bad dog but he loves people and generally only wants to do commands for treats. Because pugs are stubborn creatures that are very food motivated. I'll have to work on that. Probably having to trick him into thinking I have a treat. I was so glad this popped into my recommendations though because not knowing that could have been a disaster with my anxiety. I am still anxious about flying a pug because there are risks which is why I'm doing everything possible, by him loosing extra weight, to make the flight safe as possible. Leaving him with family wasn't an option because he is solely attached me since I've had him since he was 7 weeks old and follows me everywhere I allow. I do not allow him in the bathroom while I shower or most of the time if I go out unless it's the pet store, a park or I'm visiting someone that allows dogs.

I have GAD, also (and clinical depression). My Scottie has helped me with both so much. She is 20 lbs, lean but long. This video helped a lot, but I still stress. I've been doing training with her, but she seems to have a fear of her carrier. I got the large Sherpa, and she has to curl up in it. Not sure if she can turn around, so I really hope they don't make me prove it at the ticket gate. Not only does she freak out right now if I completely close her up in the bag, but then she doesn't want to get back in again afterwards. And like your dog, Scotties are super stubborn, too, and don't always want to do as they're told. On the plus side, she adores everyone + all dogs and cats. She even adores babies and toddlers and will give gentle kisses. Aside from her not being too keen to be in the carrier, the only dow side I could see is that she may be too excited to see the other animals and people and want to greet them. I plan to wear her out at the dog park the day before our early morning flight, use a thunder shirt, use some calming pheromones, put in a soft towel with my scent it in in her carrier, and give her a sedative (they just don't usually last too long for her and the flight is a little over 4 hrs). I have a sling for her, too, which she is much happier in than the carrier, so I can at least keep her in that while in the airport until I have to put her in the carrier. She doesn't bark much at all or whine. She isn't afraid of thunder, fireworks, or military jets screaming overhead for air shows. I think she would be fine if she could sit on my lap and see the whole process, but alas, she will have to tough it out on the floor. Fingers crossed it will go smoothly. It is a little less than a month away

When you put your carrier under the seat, it's intended to go left to right, not front to back (that's why the carrier in the video protruding out into her foot space.
