What are your tips for successful pup's first plane ride?
Our chocolate lab has been trained as a therapy dog and regularly does visits to support kids and adults. She also supports me with anxiety. She's traveled a lot by car but this spring we're considering her first plane trip (in cabin).
My dad is terminally ill and lives on the other side of the country, he's asked if she can come see him. Logistically we're set, but I'm concerned about how comfortable she'll be in cabin, air pressure changes for her ears, using bathroom in alloted airport animal spaces, and anything unforseen that could cause her harm.
Does anyone have experience flying with an emotional support animal or service animal successfully? What are your top travel tips?
Thank you!
