would u fly a dog on a plane? why or why not? if yes what is the longest would u have a dog on a plane??????

Question

just curious, i personally would not.

Answer 1

When I moved from Taiwan back to the US, I did fly a dog across the Pacific, then across most of North America. I did not sedate her, and she seemed to do fine.

In the summertime, there will be certain restrictions on flying pets, and they exist to avoid killing your dog. For instance, when I was flying her across the continent, I could not stop in Dallas because it was 100+ in Dallas, and the plane did not have climate control on the ground. Direct flight was OK, but no layover.

If you are flying to another country or to Hawaii, make double dog sure you have met their vaccination/quarrantine restrictions and that you have all the required paperwork. Some places follow the rule, "When in doubt, kill the animal and incinerate the carcass." I've known people who have tried to sneak pets around restrictions and laws, but I wouldn't try it myself.

So talk to your vet, talk to your airline, check the local laws in your destination.

When I was little we moved back home to the Cayman Islands and we took our dog. He handles it ok. Several years ago my aunt and uncle bought a yorkie from New York because it was cheaper. We had to keep the dog here for 6 months so it could get all of it's shots, a microchip and several blood tests, and then we put it on a plane and flew it to the Georgia where my Uncle flew to meet it and then he took it back to the Island. So yes I would fly my dog.

Answer 3

I would ot fly my dog as cargo.. however I have taken him in cab with me.

I wouldnt take him on a long flight, unless there was a layover between flights, that allowed time for me to potty him. If there are no layovers, the longest would be a 3 hour flight, with all the checking in and boardind and unboarding, etc.. its about 5 hours total. Thats the maximum on his little bladder.

Answer 4

I would try to avoid doing so, but if I was moving to an area where I had to fly my dog on a plane, I absolutely would! For as long as necessary.

Answer 5

I have flown my dog on a plane when I moved interstate, she was 5 years old, the flight took about 3 hours and she was fine. There was no way I was leaving her behind.

Answer 7

breeders do it all the time. go to flypets.com. they have a special system for flying pets. my dog came on a plane from missouri, he was perfectly fine when we picked him up, a little upset stomach but that's normal.

Answer 8

Well, I haven't ever flown a dog, but I have flown rabbits from eastern Washington to Rhode Island with no problems.

Answer 9

Good question- they are not taking dogs as much don't know why not- you should ask someone who has take dog on flight or ask pet stores etc.

Answer 10

I'm not crazy about flying

depends on altitude pressure on the dog's ears, etc.

I wouldn't
