Traveling on an airplane with a puppy.

Hello!

To make sure I understand your question correctly, are you bringing your dog in the cabin with you on a trip?

I've traveled a few times with both my dogs on an airplane. One time I brought my Oreo to Sweden in which was a long flight, and another time was when I moved cross country from New York City to Seattle.

My recommendation to you (that worked for me) has been to:

1) get less sleep the night before the flight. Make sure your energetic puppy is playing for a long time at night time, this will make your puppy super tired. You'll be tired yourself for staying up longer with your pup, but both of you may be able to catch up some sleep on the flight.

2) Also, before you leave your home, make sure you go for a long walk with your puppy to avoid any accident in his or her bag.

3) Just before you have checked in at the airport, you can take your puppy outside again to go to the bathroom one last time before going through security.

4) bring a Kong that you already filled with peanut butter or something else that your dog loves, this will keep him busy for 20-30 minutes.

5) Bring toys and a small bone for your pup.

Hopefully, this will help a little bit.

Good luck and Safe Travels!
