      Yes ! Lol. My sister took her dog with 'em to a car wash just a couple of days ago, she videoed it ,where I could see how terrified she was ! Poor thing ! But ,that trick of your might be effective for those flying with their dogs & cats ! But ,I am not really o.k.with dogs & cats flying or even travelling in cars so on as it's very stressful to them !! Especially cats !! So ,unless absolutely necessary, people shouldn't ! There have been too many cases of tragedies that took dogs 's & cat's lives on planes as well !! Unless they can put their dogs& cats in passenger seats ,or checked bag areas ,they shouldn't !! 💜🥁🎵🐉🎤🎶🐾💕💞

    I recently flew to Europe from Canada with my service dog Skidboot. It was Skid’s first time flying and we had three flights each way. The entire trip including layovers was 24 hours.
    Here are some things I did to prepare him for the trip (there was a lot more that is specific for service dogs) as well as some of the things I brought for him.
    - lots of rides in various vehicles (trucks, cars, quads, golf carts) over various terrain (bumpy rides)
    - several train and bus rides
    - getting him used to the sight and sound of golf carts as you will come across them at airports
    - getting him used to the feel of riding in elevators
    - visit airport beforehand so the dog can get used to the noise and sounds and smells
    - getting the dog used to suitcases being pulled and dropped on the ground
    - exposure to people in uniforms
    - exposure to loud equipment/machines/vehicles
    - it’s also a good idea to teach your dog to go potty on command on a potty pad (some airports don’t have pet relief areas or they are so disgusting that the dog doesn’t want to use them). In Europe, pet relief areas are almost all the time outside the secure area.
    - make sure your dog has a solid sit/stay and recall for going through security
    - make sure your dog is comfortable being touched by strangers as the dog may get patted down by a security officer if you choose to leave his gear on
    - getting him used to all kinds of noises, e.g. jet/turbo engines starting up, plane taking off, PA announcements, sounds of a busy airport, sounds of people going through security) by playing sounds from UA-cam over speaker at increasing volume
    - withhold food and water before the flight.
    - bring an extra empty water bottle for your dog that you can fill up after going through security as well as a collapsible water bowl; ice cubes are another option
    - bring high-value treats (make sure he’s used to them to prevent stomach upset)
    - dry kibble (amount depends on the length of your trip, but I would say at least 2 days worth for an international trip) and collapsible feed bowl (in case you get stranded somewhere due to cancellation or delay)
    - bring his favourite toy (non squeaky or silent squeaker), a chew stick (non-smelly)
    - bring paper towels, wipes, disposable gloves, potty pads in a Ziploc bag to clean up in case of an accident
    - talk to your vet about giving him something to prevent an upset tummy
    - original copies of health papers (good idea to have copies with you as well and/or keep on phone)
    - bring an extra collar and extra leash in case something breaks
    - check with customs re. bringing dog food, treats into the country you are flying to

    I've flown many times domestically with my dogs. The best pet carrier is the Sturdi bag. It has stays that arch across the top so the bag doesn't collapse on the dog, but the stays can squish down to where you can shove the bag under the seat in front of you. I keep a small ziploc with treats in the carrier so that if I need to take him out and put him back in the bag mid trip, I have treats to reward him. I can also reward him any time for good behavior. I've also found that it varies greatly from airport to airport and flight/gate attendant to attendant as to if your dog is allowed out of the carrier to walk vs. being in the bag. I've had a tsa person yell at me for having my dog out, even though 10 feet from where I stood I was going to have to take him out to walk through security check. It just depends on who is working that day. In my carry on, I try to carry stuff that I need for the trip for my dog and check my own things because my items are easier to replace. An empty collapsible water dish is handy for when you arrive at the destination airport to give the dog a drink, and pop up crates/tents fit great in carry on bags. I do always get a health certificate from my vet every time I fly, but I've never once been asked to see it.
    The best story I have about flying with my dog is when we landed I carefully picked up my dog carrier and put it in my lap. An older lady sitting next to me was surprised that I had a dog in there. She said she thought I was talking to myself throughout the flight! LOL!

      PLEASE HELP!!! I too have the Sturdi Bag that I will be using for the first time on Feb. 3, 2021. I am moving and purchased the bag 3 months ago for my 5yr old Maltese Cocker Spaniel. I also purchased the K9 Sport Sack to carry my dog on my back instead of by hand, on my arm, or pulling. We are flying Delta. My dog is used to the crate/kennel but he whines A LOT when we get in a moving vehicle. When I had my car, I had seatbelts for my dog so he was never boxed in (I like for my dog to be as free as possible). I consulted with his vet, received meds for him and did a test run in an Uber to my mother’s house. As my dog was a little woozy, he still managed to whine in the Uber until I took him out of the bag. My dog is an ESA dog however, as of Jan. 11,2021 ESAs are no longer recognized on flights. I say all of that to ask...how do I get my dog to stop whining while crated to avoid disrupting other passengers????

      @@Navi405 its been a bit so you've probably already gotten an answer, but a border collie most likely wouldn't be able to fit under the seat in front of you. Most airlines require the crate to be no larger that 18×11×11ish and that's barely enough room for my 20lb chihuahua mix. It's also very hard to find carriers that meet those dementions that can hold more than 15 or 20 lbs

    Thank you for all the tips! It is helpful to be prepared! I've flown many times with my Chi-mix. The best thing I can do to keep her calm, is to remain calm myself. She picks up on when my breathing or expression changes. It reminds me to calm down & breathe deeper. Also, I unzip the carrier top slightly, so she knows she isn't trapped. She is fine as long as she maintains some eye contact with me. They love to be with their peeps!

    Hi, in 2018 my kids and me traveled to Italy with two cats!! A great guy/vet told them exactly how to deal with the “emigration”, with getting the pets used to the cages, plus eating a “relaxing” cat food 2 weeks before. Also he suggested that having a familiar-smelly item (an old t-shirt...) inside the bags would help.
    Very interesting to know that a cat can live without food or water for three days, so 13 hours on the plane was not the biggest deal.

    I have not traveled on a plane with a pet but I have an awesome carrier by PetsFit and it is sold on Amazon. Mine has on the side two wings that fold out like a pup tent for when you are sitting and waiting so your pet can stretch out a little. When your ready you fold the wings back in and zip them up. There is also the material on the side so you can slip it securely over the carry on handle when it is extended. My bag fits exactly on top of the carry on bag to and it is the size requirement the airlines require as well. There is a really size pocket on the back to. I hope this helps.

    Thanks for your tips! I booked a roundtrip to Europe before I knew I was going to have to take my dog. Three trustedhousesitters backed out due to getting bigger places to sitt at, so he is coming. Luckily, I took him on his first ride a year ago and the flights were only an hour, and he is pretty smart, so he was napping on the way back. Now, the flight over is broken up in Canada, so he won't be on the plane for more than 5 hours on the way, but on the way back we have a 12-hour flight! He uses potty pads, and I plan on taking him to the restroom, but I am nervous for sure. I plan on going back and forth to Europe frequently now, so he has to get used to it, so wish me luck! I am nervous.

    Try traveling with 2 cats! I moved from Virginia to Florida a few years ago. Had to have my sister fly up and back with me to handle one of the cats. I was scared my cats would surpass the weight restrictions (they just squeaked by). I was really petrified about having to take them out of their carrier and take their collars off. Can you imagine if a cat gets lose in an airport ? Fortunately everything worked out ok and they were little angels in the plane.

    Thought I would give an update that might put some cat-travelers at ease. Two weeks ago I flew to SLC (round trip, in one day🥴) to pick up my son’s cat (long story). I downloaded the TSA app as well as the app for my airline. I had lots of questions that seemed to multiply as the trip got closer - it was sooooo easy to chat (plus, I took screen shots of my Q&A’s in case I needed to reference them)! I was about as informed as I could be. At TSA, I requested a private screening. Now, granted, my experience at SLC (Salt Lake City) may not be an example of all airports, but going through TSA was a breeze! I won’t go into details, but to say that it was a very positive experience. The only issue - the poor TSA agent who had to screen my backpack….. I packed a zip-lock of kitty litter, and yes, because it was a “powder” it had to be swabbed. Poor guy….but he had a wonderful attitude❣️
    One thing to keep in mind, traveling with pets…… My airline counted the pet carrier as my “carry-on” item, so I had to check my roller bag. That meant I had to carry a 20# cat (cat plus carrier) through the airport rather than use my carry-on as a trolly. That was brutal, as the new SLC airport requires a lot of walking! I had tight connections, so had to hustle.

    I missed seeing your videos--welcome back! Question--when you said you have to take off the dog's harness and collar and walk him through the security area, how did you keep him from not staying with you, or is it a very short time period? My dog has never been on a plane and is 13. How much does your dog weigh? Mine is 15 lbs. I think it's so much easier to train them when they're puppies to be in a carrier than start with an older dog. We leave ours with my son for a short vacation, otherwise we drive.

      I don’t know about Delta, but for American Airlines, they say (and you can’t speed-read or you’ll miss it) that the size listed is for a hard-sided carrier. Because a soft-sided carrier can compress, those dimensions don’t have to be the same. Basically, I think what they are saying is that the dimensions listed are the actual dimensions of the under seat space.
