Dogs and Airplanes - Should You Bring Your Dog With You?

Traveling can be exciting and you may want to include your dog with you as you head off on vacation. You may even be considering bring your pet with you on a quick flight for business purposes or other. However, there is much to consider before you do so.

First of all, you must consider your destination. You may be very excited about it; but what about your dog? You will need to check to see if the location you are traveling to is dog friendly. If you will be staying at a hotel, you must call ahead of time and make sure that a dog would be welcome. Many hotels will not allow this. If you are staying with friends or family, do not surprise them by bringing along your pet. People may have allergies, young children may be afraid of dogs; therefore always check ahead.

The form of transportation that you will be taking will have a major impact on your decision. It may not seem like a big deal for you to jump on an airplane; but it can be a major ordeal for your dog.

The most important element in play is that some airlines will consider your dog to be luggage. Therefore, the crate containing your dog may be placed in the cargo hold with other luggage bags. These areas can get very hot or very cold and be very unhealthy for your dog. Since it is assumed you would not want this to happen to your dog while traveling, you will want to find an airline that will accommodate you and your pet.

Many airlines will allow you to bring your dog onboard if the crate is a small enough size. Of course, do not try to squish a large dog into a small crate; you dog must have room to turn around and be comfortable. Ask airlines ahead of time the exact measurements and measure your crate very carefully.

Keep in mind that if it will be a long flight, your dog will not be able to leave the crate. Your dog will need to eliminate inside the crate and this can be very uncomfortable for your dog and very unpleasant for other travelers.

Sometimes, a vet will agree to give you medicine to sedate your dog so that your pet can be asleep during the flight. When all is said and done; a responsible dog owner will do what is in the best interest of their pet.
