Has anyone traveled with their pet as carry on baggage with united airlines or something similar?

Question

I have a chihuahua hes around 3lbs, i have a bag, thats airline approved, he has tons of room in it and ts bendable to fit under the seat... Im jsut asking, what kinds of things did you encounter while bringing your pet? Are they easy when they look at the certificates or do they look at every single paragraph, (paranoid as you can see) and, all in all was it easy to bring your pet into the US? (im coming from canada to NY) jsut please give me as much information as possible please.. thanks alot in advance

Answer 1

I think what they want you to use is a 'sherpa pet carrier" maybe that's what you have. I wanted to bring my cat home from China, but it was too much hassle, that's just because of the distance and rules. I think from Canada to US , no problem, just make sure he has rabies and health certificate. I did ride on the plane last time with two chinese ladies bringing their small dogs from Beijing to the States. they had them in carriers under the seat. United Airlines.
