- Disclaimers I do not mean to disregard any measures made by the airlines, please be sure to check with specific airlines about the guidelines and do not bring your dog on a plane if it's going to be uncomfortable for your dog or break any of the airline's set rules. This video is also NOT about service animals.
*This video is from 2021, I have not brought my dog in a carrier since this and airlines may have gotten more strict on the size of your dog
*I have only flown Southwest with my dog so cannot advise on the other airlines
This video is all about how you can fly with your dog in-cabin as a non ESA. Pets can fly in cabin with you if they fit comfortably in a carrier. They just have to meet certain requirements, for example, carriers must be no larger than 18.5” long x 8.5” high x 13.5” wide (southwest). There are no weight requirements but the dog or cat must fit in the carrier comfortably. This video details my experience bringing my corgi on the plane with me, in a pet carrier.
I don't know anything specifically about Service Animals as I have not had one. They are not required to be registered. Online service animal registrations are not real.

Have you flown with your dog before? How was your experience?!
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!
@@cutiepatotiex33 Aw thank you so much for sharing your experience! I flew with Willo again after this video and they definitely gave me a little push back and made me show them that willo could turn around, but she did and they let us go lol! But I agree it's a little too stressful to deal with often. i'm glad your pup was able to travel with you though!!
I’ll be flying southwest to bring our new puppy home next week. This video was a huge help, put my mind at ease especially with the dimensions of the carrier being so small I got nervous!
I've never flown with my dog. But thanks for the video.
Your doggy is so cute I have a Pekingese. About the same size
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.
I bet you they got rid of the emotional dog thing because of dumb people taking advantage of it... I saw a "emotional dog" crapping and barking like crazy one time... Thanks 😑 cause sometimes I need my emotional support dog...
They got rid of it because airlines lobbied against that regulation. Look up A4A they pushed for the change, mostly for the fees that they’ll collect now for each dog.
can emotional dogs not bark now?
You’re correct. Plus people were taking untrained animals on planes and one customer got attacked and required 28 stitches to the face from somebody’s esa and a staffer got bit and needed 5 stitches. The first man sued the airline for $140 million. I hate people have made the life of the disabled even more difficult by taking advantage and traveling with untrained pets.
People who abuse the system with dogs like your " emotional support " dogs make it difficult for me who actually has a medical alert SERVICE DOG. Accusing this person of abusing the rules while stating you also have a " therapy " dog is ironic...
Yeah people were abusing it. Since EMotional support animals don’t need qualifications like service animals people were taking Peacocks, miniature ponies, etc
Thank you so much for your video--it was absolutely amazing! So informative and so reassuring to know facts, especially seeing photos and ESPECIALLY the photo of Willo's carrier under the seat in front of you. I could only imagine it having to be shoved entirely underneath and your photo assumes me that this is not the case. You answered questions that I didn't even know I would have so thank you for compiling the questions you've been asked and then answering them all at the end.
This is the most helpful video I’ve ever seen! I have a mix who I want to travel with but I’ve been so worried she won’t fit in a carrier cause she seems long😭 but knowing that willow could get into hers, I feel more confident about my pup!
You have the best, step by step flying with your pet video out there! This will be my first time picking a puppy and traveling with her in a plane and have been freaking out about how confusing all of the process seems to be.
Thank you so much for calming new pup owner nerves 🤭😂
Thank you! I'm so glad it was helpful. Good luck!
As a traveler with a corgi, thank you so so much for this!
This is exactly what I needed! I have a corgi too and have been concerned about traveling with him during the upcoming holidays. This was super helpful.
I'm glad it was helpful! We've flown again since this video and it went fine as well :)
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.
Thank you so much for making this video!!! I have to fly with my tiny princess later this month, and it will be the first time for both of us. I’m nervous, but excited at the same time. She’s having heart surgery, and that’s every bit as scary as it sounds.
The surgery itself is sooo much scarier than flying.
How did she do? And how did the survey go? Hope all went well🙏🏼❤️
Thank you so much for making this video
Your such a responsible, caring dog mom.
Aw thank you!
This was so helpful. Thank u. I am flying southwest to visit family and for the first time ever, traveling with my chihuahua. I also noticed that the requirements for that were to pay at the counter at check-in. Obviously there are things u are required to do ahead of time, and had no idea. I’m sooo glad u suggested reaching out ahead of time to make reservations for your pet… otherwise, I wouldn’t have known.
Thanks utterly much Devon! We intend to fly our two 5-pound Yorkies overseas to the Philippines on Asiana Airlines soon. We are acclimating them to their carriers now. Your information is so helpful! 💛🙏🏼
Warning to everyone: United and other airlines will deny you with dogs around a corgi size. This video was misleading and I thought my dog would be fine to fly in the cabin because she’s the size of a corgi but unfortunately I got denied entry. Now I have to rebook my flight and look for a dog border.
what kind of dog do you have? i have a shiba, tall but only weighs 20 lbs
@@christinac3727 I have a 19lbs Shiba as well. I’ve been looking into flights and found that Delta & Southwest are the better airlines for dogs.
Depends saw 40lbs/18kg limit before as well as 8kg
Wow, thank you for that info.
I called ahead and gave her weight and carrier dimensions, I’m flying international in September. Both airlines(KLM & Delta) approved after seeking approval.
Thank you for this video! I have been so anxious about flying with my 20lb corgi baby since the ESA ban
You're welcome! You're lucky your corgi is only 20lbs haha, literally the perfect weight :) You will both do great!
Thank you so much for the video. I had a totally different experience when I try to bring my dog with me from Philadelphia to Phoenix. The airline employees told me I can not bring my dog on the flight because he can’t turn around in the carrier. My dog and carrier is total weighted 22lbs. He is a mini golden doodle. The airline refuse to onboard me and my dog. I was so so frustrated and disappointed. Now I have to cargo ship my dog which will be even cruel for my dog 😥😭 I tried to airline, American airline and frontier airline
@@funnypig19841 sorry - not a pleasant experience. Hope either you didn’t cargo or if yes, it was a good experience. So noisy and high blood pressure
@@funnypig19841 yea that’s my fear. I also have a mini Goldendoodle who is 20lbs. She can fit in a carrier no problem when she’s laying down, but isn’t able to stand and turn around. Seems like whether or not she can fly is based on who is working that day and how much they care. I refuse to fly her in cargo
@@JustinInMotion yes, it is totally depends on who work on that day. I was tried to reschedule my flight. Unfortunately, it seems I was being targeted. They were accusing me inhuman to put my dog in a carrier, however I think they are the one who are inhuman. 4hours flight for my dog with me isn't that long. However, it ends up my dog has to flight from Philadelphia to Chicago and stay overnight on Chicago and flight from Chicago to Los Angeles. Due to the heat, Phoenix isn't an option. I have to drive to LA to pick up my dog. I don't mind drive, however, it was a super long and stressful day for my dog 🐶🐕😭. Good luck to you and your dog. Hopefully you will have a much smoother experience than me.
This is by far the most helpful video I have watched concerning a dog that weighs more than 20lbs and how to navigate the process. My mix is about 22 lbs and has a longer body, and I’m figuring out how to take him from Dallas to Orlando next month. Thank you so much for this video 🙌🏼
you're welcome!
Did you end up taking them? What airline did you use?
@@devonandwillo Just wonder what are the airlines have you took Willo to travel with problem free? 😍
Thank you for this video. We are flying out with our 7 month old Corgi from Tampa to Oklahoma with Southwest as well, and I was a bit concern and nervous about this whole flying thing with a dog. But this seems to help out alot. So with that, thank you for making these videos.
Thank you so much for this video! Watched it about 3 times before flying with my corgi for the first time and felt so prepared. We made it just fine 😎
Who did you fly with? :)
Yes who did you fly with?
Great job on this video. Can't thank you enough. It is stressful to fly with your dog and this information is the best overall tutorial I've seen. It gives me the confidence to fly home with my new Cavalier puppy.
This is very very helpful. I genuinely appreciate all your tips and recommendations, wonderful job.
Thank you for this! Flying for the first time with my dog to stay for a month before moving across the country next week!
Thank you so much for sharing. I was feeling hopeless after the esa ban but now I’m going to try to get my corgi to feel comfortable enough to go in a carrier
I'm glad this helped! Good luck :)
How did your flight go with your corgi?
@@devonandwillo where did you buy the carrier that the sides open up
Just about to get a pug in the coming days and your video was extremely helpful! Thank you so much for all the details and sharing your experiences.
I have a French bulldog. Some airlines refuse short snout dogs. Looking forward to your experience!
This is a great video! It put me at ease for an upcoming flight with my dog. Thank you!
This was so helpful! Thank you for so much detail!
So incredibly helpful and detailed. I hate flying, you just made it incredibly easily.
Thank you for sharing this very important info. I flew once with my fur baby and it was not the most comfortable experience. Good to know that Southwest is more accommodating.
You are so welcome!
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 was going to say that but thank you for stating that.
not nessrly any sze of service by law is allowed on the plane
@@rileyrainbow7611 not any more under the ACAA
My grandson service dog is a life saver alerts to life threatening situations such as generalized epilepsy she is our only warning signs. I would Fight it for her to go he’s 113 lbs can’t lift him any more
Thank you for this video! Answered all my questions before flying with my dog!
Glad it was helpful!
this kicks ass.....THANK YOU DEVON AND WILLO! Wish me luck with Pennee! :)
I'm moving back home in 2 weeks w/ my puppy & I am so nervous so thank you for this amazing video!! so helpful!
Lots of great info. Thanks for taking the time to post it.
Very helpful and stress relieving. Thank you.
Very helpful. Hoping to fly with my rescue shorkie soon. Thanks for all of the helpful tips.
Thank you so much!!!!!!!! I always traveled with my ESA and was so stressed with the ban.
thank you for this video i love how detailed you are! you answered every question i had.
I love how you put in your description that service animal “registration” and or “certified” websites that sell fake service dog things are not real!
It’s really nice seeing a pet owner respect the service animal laws and just plane respect of service animals!
I also love how you really push training in the carrier and for people to only bring well behaved dogs!
I have had very aggressive pets in carriers bark and scratch non stop trying to get my service dog..
I really truly appreciate how you strive to educate people properly and help people understand they need to have a well behaved dog in the airport and on a airplane!
Again I absolutely love how you push to protect service dogs! There is sadly so so so many aggressive dogs, it’s honestly scary as a disabled person in the middle of a medical episode and dogs lunging at my service dog while she’s tasking and working to keep me safe!
Thank you, thank you, thank you for educating people properly and HEAVILY protecting legit service animals!
❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for your comment! I definitely try really hard to put accurate information out there and am always learning new things :)
@@devonandwillo of corse thank you for protecting service dogs! I rarely find good pet and ESA owners who actually know the laws and respect them!
Thank you for making this video! Was super helpful😊 love to Willow🤗
She's so cute, and Your tips are perfect for everyone, my dog and me flying domestic and international, and we have never had any problems. He is a very good behavior dog, literally he'll fall a sleep before the take off (with no any relaxing medicine)
Thank you! That is awesome that your pup is so well behaved :)
I Just wanted to say Thank you!!! So Much I bought the second carrier the one from Amazon it worked great my Dog is med/large about 25-27 pounds flew on southwest
Thank you so much for sharing this video, flying with my Pomsky puppy in two days and found this very helpful
I hope your flight went well!
very good tips and articulated questions and responses.
Thank you for making this video! It was very helpful.
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.
It’s not really thorough tho, she never mentions anything about the dog needing vet paperwork
This was so helpful, thank you for posting!
Thank you so much for the info. Willow is adorable!!
Best video! Amazing, super helpful and reassuring ❤
Great video! Thank you so much for the info! Your corgi is a sweetie !
This video was super super helpful because our dogs are the same size! I’ve only flown with my dog once and it was before the change with emotional support pets so I’m going to get the Amazon carrier and see if she will be ok for holiday travel! Wish me luck 😆
This has been super helpful for a first time flight in a carrier! Coconut has been an ESA for almost 6 years so it’s been a huge stressor for me trying to prepare for this change in his experience (and mine!).
Glad it was helpful! I feel you on the stress though!
In an inflight emergency, the airlines will do their best to care for you. Who will care for your dog? You are obviously impaired, so you can't. Your poor dog is left to fend for itself, and maybe even left behind. Tell me how that is being a good pet owner. It's not.
@@gloriawelch3603 You can’t live your life in fear. Good luck with whatever it is you’re trying to achieve. Go harass someone else, Gloria
Esa are no longer allowed to fly in the cabin. Must be a trained service animal. Thank you.
@@gloriawelch3603 Yes and that’s why I reviewed this video on how to travel with a non ESA. You can stop trying to one-up me, it’s not working out for you.
OMG willo is super cute with the head sticking out of the carrier bag!! I would love to see a video how did you train Willo could turn around in the carrier !!!
Nice tips! I’ll rehearse with him! I want to make sure he leaves a good impression in the security check!
You are amazing!! thank you for this video!!
Before all these changes, I took my Corgi with me to the Philippines, he was such an awesome dog and was so good and everyone loved him... He was also my service dog...
Actual task trained service animals are still allowed to fly
This was a Godsend. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾. My rescue pup is highly reactive & way hyper…I’ve been debating taking her (less than 7 day travel & a 3.5 hour flight). Watching this has me thinking maybe do training before we travel. 🤔
Thank you so much for this video! I have a 19 lb Pomeranian and I want to take him on trips with me cause he’s literally my kid. He gets sad when the suitcase comes out. He’s well behaved. I just was so afraid of the unknown and had so many questions for pets traveling and you covered all my concerns. Again, I appreciate this video
How did it go? My dog is a rat terrier and same weight
Did you ended up flying with your dog?
This was so helpful!!!! Thank you so much!
This is a great video! Thank you!
This video was so helpful and will be a lifesaver when we move to NYC in a few months! My dog is named Willo(w) as well!
This was great!!!! So helpful!!
This is great, thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much for this!
I'm glad it was helpful!
You are awesome, thank you so much for your advice! 🌹
Super helpful video thank you!
💚
This solidified my decision to buy a carrier with wheels. Thanks.
Thanks for the information and tips
you're welcome!
This was very helpful. Thanks!
Thank you for this video. Its amazing 🤩
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.
This makes me feel a little better. I am moving to Europe and we have looked for every way to get my little jack russell chihuahua mix over there but having him fly in cabin is the only affordable way to do it. He will fit in the recommended kennel size that is on Deltas website, but the space under the seat is smaller that the recommended kennel size. I'm terrified that they will deny him because of that.
Thanks for the info!!!👏🏻🥰
Very informative. Thanks 🤩
Thank you for sharing this! I just moved from LA to Nashville and literally a week after i got here, they did the ESA ban : ( Flying back to LA to visit my family next month with my pup and hoping he'll do okay! This video is so helpful! We are flying Southwest : ) I'm ordering the carrier you used.
Ah what a bummer! I'm glad this was helpful though! Good luck bringing your pup back to Nashville with you!
Just curious, did Southwest allow you to take the Amazon carrier through successfully? Did they measure the bag?
@@1kaaa Hi! I actually just got back to Nashville last week! Flew Southwest to LA and back. I had no problems getting through with the bag on either flight! And, no, they didn't measure it. When we were on the flight, they did ask me to push the carrier under the seat in front of me, but they didn't stay to watch and see if i did. It's a soft bag, so it may have been able to squish under the seat, but it didn't just slide under, so i just left it and it worked out fine.
@@1kaaa i just rewatched this video and i just realized that i actually bought a carrier that was super similar, but 1" smaller. This one was closer to the Southwest measurement guidelines, but, as i said, they didn't measure it or pay much attention to it. Make sure you call ahead and make a pet reservation though! www.amazon.com/dp/B07FY4PNTY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_3NKKNJ1BT1EMHW7YB28X?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
@@tiffanijenee Thank you so much!!
I fly Delta with my 23lbs beagle and use a large sturdibag carrier. (I've heard the extra large fits too but I haven't tried that one yet). It fits amazing under the seat because the top flexes. I also use a fast pass metal free harness (they also have collars!) so I can make sure I have her under my control in case she might get spooked. I highly recommend these for people traveling with pets in cabin. Also, my vet told me no medicine during flights as it can drop their heart rate and breathing rate which can cause health issues. Instead, she told me I can use Adaptil spray and it seemed to help!
Thank you for this info! I'm going to look into that carrier and spray! I'm flying with Willo again soon and am honestly anxious about it all over again haha
@@devonandwillo Thanks for the reply!! Honestly, I get anxious every time I fly with her. She's a really good traveler but there's just so much to make sure is done and so many unknowns. My girl is really leggy but has a smaller body, your little lady would probably do good in the extra large Sturdibag. The reviews on Amazon say it fits under most airline seats. I fly the CRJ200's to see my family so I got the smaller one.
The Adapil spray is supposed to be like the pheromone that a mama dog has. I spray the inside of her carrier with it the night before the flight and the morning of the flight and it actually works to keep her calm.
I'm trying to book a trip to fly with my 25 pound dog and using the same carrier. Do you mind me asking you flew Delta Comfort+ or if the carrier was able to fit under the seats in the main cabin? I'm having a hard time finding the under-seat dimensions for Delta
@@alst9852 I've flown both main cabin and Comfort+. I have status so occasionally I get an upgrade. The studibag fits fine in main cabin but the extra legroom is nice in Comfort+. I'd just recommend not getting a window seat, there's a ledge that cuts the space a little on some of the planes.
How did you get your dog a ticket? For delta did you pay up front or?
I’ve got a 7 lb rescue Chihuahua. He’s tiny but timid. I pray he will be okay on an 8 hour transatlantic flight in the cabin . Your information is so helpful. Ps Willow is a sweetie .x
I think he’ll do great!! Good luck!
Omg this video helped so much I’m gonna be flying with my German shepherd puppy in April and he should be around your dogs size actually which is kinda funny but yeah this video helped with everything I need to know when I fly :)
Excellent presentation!
Thank you so much for the carrier recommendation ❤️I'm planning to take my 13 year old mini schnauzer with me on trips. I'll check jet blue policy because they have "more room" seats.
Were you able to fly with your dog through jetblue?
Thanks for the video, super helpful
Glad it was helpful!
Great video... it's a very different process for me. I have a medical alert service dog ( seizure detection)..
He's a 130lb Rottweiler lol. He sits next to me on the plane. I'm usually given the emergency exit row or the front row which has more floor space...
I've never had an issue with flying with my service dog, seeing the process for a therapy dog is interesting!
You are entitled to fly with your service dog. This post is really about trying to illegally travel with a dog that is not a service dog and not entitled to fly in the cabin
@@gloriawelch3603 technically small dogs do not need to be a SD or ESA to fly in the cabin... most airlines allow small dogs to fly in the cabin for a extra fee. Large dogs that don't fit under the seat have to be put in baggage unless they are SD or ESA. Also Airlines are not allowed to charge a fee for SD.
@@thetruepatriot7733 Hi sorry to bother but you seem to be well informed, I'm flying to new york for the holidays. my dog is a 5 pound dog, It will be her first time, what should I be expecting and will she be okay?
this was very helpful thank you
Thank you for this. I’m traveling with a 5 month old corgi to move to Italy in November. I’m super nervous and kennel training every day
Good luck!!
she is soooo precious! aweee
Aw thank you!
Thank you so much for making this. Bringing my Shih Tzu on a flight for the first time.
How did that go?? I also have a Shih Tzu and will be flying United as well!
@@Savvxcx4 make sure you have a carrying case for your pup. When I flew I had the case under the seat in front of me. Get a ice water at Dunkins or somewhere similar and feed the ice cube if your pup is thirsty. Please let me know how it goes and I wish you and you pup a safe flight. I absolutely love Shih Tzu's and I'm sending you positive energy your way.
@@ALofiLife by carrying case you mean the carrier for the pup yes? Also, can I bring a doggy treats just in case he whines or something?
@@Savvxcx4 yes the carrying case for your pup. When you get past security you can be a little more free roam, depending on how everyone working that day feels. But for Shih Tzus people are usually super okay with it. And yes a small bag of dog treats in the carrying case is fine. I would reccomened giving a CBD/Melatonin treat for your pup before you arrive to the airport or before your flight or even both.
@@ALofiLife thank youuuu sm! I have been getting recommendations on trying out some sort of CBD for doggies. Appreciate the help 🙏
Very helpful, thank you so much!!
You're very welcome!
Great vid!!!! I recently did one too. A commenter asked me if her chihuahua might fit and I linked your video in my comments 😘 😘 🙌🏽
👍👌Thank you so much for this message.
Thank you for this video I'm flying with my dog he is a shih-tzu toy poodle for the first time this helped a lot. We only flying to Florida and it's only 2 hrs flight.
My dog is corgi mix and he has exectly same size and weigh like willo! your video is so halpful to me. Thanks a lot!!
Thanks for the great video! You shared a lot of valuable information. Just a gentle suggestion: You may want to turn the volume down on your music. It ended up being more of foreground music than background music. Thanks!
Willow is adorable. This is so nerve racking.
Thank you for this. I'm flying southwest and my dog is 17lbs but he is tall and long. I was so worried because his carrier is so small, and now i got him the one you have in the video that expands
What type of dog do you have? Mine is around 16-17 lbs and I too worry that she would be uncomfortable because she is tall. Thankfully I haven't needed to fly with her yet but may need to in the next year and the whole process is stressing me out.
@@Carolinagirl1028 my boy is a jack Russell shih tzu mix/super mutt
The expanding bag is it. Highly recommend having a rolling carryone and trying to avoid checking anything because your baby will get heavy.
He was a little scared but training him in the bag before hand was really helpful. I also have prescribed anti anxiety medication for him.
Also put his favorite toy in with him and had some peanut butter Togo cups for him when he started freaking out, this was really important because it gave him something to lick in the bag and calm down.
Highly recommend three other things: a thunder shirt, pee pads lined in the bag just incase, and paying to be one of the first on the plane.
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!! Feeling less worried about taking my dog on a plane!
Great Video thank you!!
Great video!
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.
I am picking up my new corgi pup in March and I travel a TON! Thank you for this video! New Subscriber 😊.... Have you traveled internationally
with her?
Thank you for making this. Flying soon and was so nervous about it!
I'm glad this helped ease your nerves!
Right I agree should be highly trained can distract service dogs who alerts to life threatening health issues don’t want to miss them. Thanks for this video I have a service dog for my grandson
Well my border collie she is a emotional support dog/therapy she's actually very calm but these airlines really don't want any dogs flying for whatever reason even if it's in the emergency hatch area where is ideal. I don't know I really want to bring my dog with me she's only 35 lbs but bigger than a rat dog. I'm thinking going through a travel agent and have them do all the leg work for us.?
Yes I absolutely agree I have a service dog myself she is a very sensitive animal and she's one of the therapy dog then I serviced hard but Zoey's seems adapt to the situation around her very well.
The key is with any dog is knowing your dog and on when it's time to pull your dog out of a situation.
Great information! I have two Corgis so this information is greatly appreciated. Willo is gorgeous!
Thank you so much!
