We are considering taking him with us when we go for our Christmas vacation (7 days). But he has always been in sunny San Diego. He is 8 months old. Will it be a shock for him? Or will he adapt to the weather change without any problems? What can I do to prepare him for this? Thanks!
Answer
I wouldn't worry. It sounds like his mix breed gives him plenty of hair. Where I live we go from one extreme to the other and the dogs all do fine. When it is below 30 degrees I put a sweater on the ones with thin coats, but your dog should do just fine.
Just remember a good crate and blankets, maybe a doggie sweater and a favorite toy... bring those with and he should have a blast with you~!

What is the safe age to allow a puppy to fly in a small aircraft (not the airlines)?

I'm looking to pick up a puppy from Northern San Diego County and would transport him via Cessna 172 to El Monte (about an hour flight at most). She's 8 weeks and I'd be a relatively low altitudes the entire flight. Or should I just make the drive?
Answer
I have a Doggie who has been an enthusiastic junior pilot for a number of years, and flies with me all the time in a single-engine airplane. She loves it and gets really excited when we are going to fly. She was about nine (9) weeks old when she had her first ride, and she adjusted well.
I gather from your question you mean that you will be flying as PIC--just you and the puppy. If there is a passenger who can hold the puppy, it makes things a lot easier.
But you should be able to put the puppy in a crate or a cardboard box with plenty of air and light holes, and belt the box into the right seat. Your puppy will need plenty of assurance that you are there. She should be able to see you, and you should pet her or at least tap on the box and speak to her often as you fly.
The biggest problem for dogs in airplanes is the noise. Engine noise can damage their sensitive little ears easily. The best solution for a small puppy is to muffle the sound by keeping a towel wrapped around the crate or box. When the dog gets bigger, you can buy hearing protection for her. They look really weird, but there are dog headsets on the market that provide really good hearing protection.
Also, it's a good idea to familiarize the puppy with the airplane first. Carry her all around the airplane and let her sniff all the odd new smells before boarding. That's always a good idea for any pet.
I usually recommend driving unless you intend to make your dog a regular flying companion. In this case you sound like a conscientious pilot, and you would probably take good care of your puppy in flight.
As a last resort you can always sedate the puppy. Consult your veterinarian as to what to give her.
Have fun.
(Now that my Doggie is a mature adult, she just rides in the seat with two short bungie cords attaching her halter to the seat belt. She likes to put her paws up on the arm rest and look out the window.)
