Kenshin Hi
He is 68 lbs, a German shepherd mix, and friendly. How much do you think it would cost for a trip from l.a. to Arabia, and Arabia to India? The turdy ticket sellers are reluctant to answer this question. (Emirates)

IN CABIN TRAVEL: FLY WITH A SMALL DOG OR CAT
Emirates Airlines does not allow pets to fly in the cabin of the aircraft with the exception of medically certified service animals.
CHECKED BAGGAGE OR CARGO TRAVEL: FLY WITH A LARGER DOG OR CAT OR OTHER ANIMAL
If your pet is flying with Emirates Airlines, if it is an animal other than a dog or cat, or if it is a very long flight, Emirates Airlines may transport your pet in the cargo section of the aircraft according to its regulations. This section of the cargo department has the same temperature and pressure as the passenger cabin. TIP: Be sure to tell the Captain of the aircraft that your pet is flying in the cargo hold so that they can be sure to keep the temperature at the proper level. Find more tips on airline pet travel in cargo.
If your pet is traveling in the cargo section, whether through the cargo department or as checked baggage, it must be in a pet crate that is IATA compliant. Learn more about IATA compliant pet crates. We also suggest that you consider crate hardware for your pet's crate as more airlines are requiring it.
HEALTH CERTIFICATE
Many airlines require a health certificate indicating that the pet is healthy enough for travel, is free of diseases communicable to humans and has been properly vaccinated, especially when traveling in the cargo section of the aircraft.
HOT AND COLD WEATHER RESTRICTIONS
When runway temperatures are above 84F (29C) degrees at the departure airport, Emirates Airlines may refuse to board your pet as cargo or checked baggage. When the weather is very cold with a runway temperature below 45F (7C) degrees at the time of departure, Emirates Airlines may require what is called an Acclimation Certificate. Learn more about the pet travel airline temperature restrictions.
INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL
If you are traveling to another country, Emirates Airlines will want to see that you have the proper documents to enter that country with your pet. Most countries have their own version of a Veterinary Certificate. In addition, some countries require an Import Permit. Find pet passport forms and instructions in the Pet Travel Store.
MORE TIPS FOR FLYING WITH A DOG OR CAT
It is a good idea to take your pet for a health checkup prior to flying. You will want your veterinarian to make sure that your pet is in top condition and all vaccinations are up to date. It is mandatory to see your vet if you are flying internationally.
Never give your pet a medical (prescription) sedative. If you want your pet to be more relaxed, then give it a natural pet calmer. Many airlines will refuse to ship a pet that has been sedated.
If your pet tends toward motion sickness, limit food intake until you have reached your destination. Be sure that your pet gets some hydration prior to travel. It is best to accomplish this at home if possible.
Always purchase your pet carrier or pet crate well in advance of your trip so that the pet can get used to it. Measure your pet from tip of nose to base of tail and from top of head to floor in order to select the proper size carrier. The airlines will require that your pet be able to stand up and turn around in the carrier.
Be sure to tell the airline you will be flying with a pet when you make your reservation as they impose restrictions on the number of pets on a specific flight. You must make your reservations on the telephone. You cannot make reservations for your pet online.
Even though air travel can be stressful for your pet, both planning and preparation will make things easier for you both. More information on airline travel tips can be found in our articles on pet travel.

How much does it cost to get your dog from India to america?

Answer
Before booking the flight: (This usually takes between 2 to 3 days if the Animal Quarantine center is close to your place)
- Take your doc to the vet that you usually take and update all vaccinations and their records; This vaccination booklet and if you dont have a booklet, a letter on the Doctors letterhead is extremely important to carry
- Once you get the letter from the doctor, based on where you live, you need to get across to the "Animal Quarantine Center" which are Government of India centers authorized to give you a certificate that your Pet is FREE of RABIES and other communicable diseases; At this place, usually based on how well you talk and how patient you are, the Vet/Chief Medical Officer will check your Pets records of vaccination (the earlier letter from your vet) and then issue a certificate. With this certificate you are GOOD TO GO. Some Animal Quarantine doctors expect you to bring the pet so that they can be checked by them before giving a letter
- The Animal quarantine center usually asks for your Pets Microchip details as well, so it helps if you have a Breed Certificate and the dog micro-chipped. This is not mandatory but some may insist and not give a certificate. This makes sense since micro-chip is the ONLY way to identify the pet after it boards an aircraft
After the Letter & Before boarding the aircraft: (this takes between 3 to 7 days based on what crate you want and whether you want to order for it online)
-- You need to buy a crate to put your pet inside; These crates cost anywhere between 3500 - 10,000 Indian Rupees based on the breed size, how fancy you want them to be etc
-- Ensure you buy a crate that is sufficiently airy and has place for the pet to move one full circle inside without hurting itself
-- Remember...the Crate ALSO has to carry inside a water dispense and a small bowl for dog food
-- Preferably have a small absorbent mattress put inside the crate so that even if the Pet passes urine, the matt absorbs it and it is comfortable for the pet to travel
After the crate, now the ticket:
-- For coming to the US, the best airline for Dogs/Cats/Small pets is Lufthansa; Emirates/Qatar and a few other airlines have issues in terms of carrying certain breeds of dogs (eg. They dont carry stub nosed dogs like boxers, pugs etc)
-- First book your ticket or the ticket of the PERSON who is travelling and then book the PET inside the same aircraft as ADDITIONAL BAGGAGE
-- Lufthansa takes the booking over phone based on the passenger reservation number and they arrange for a place in the aircraft cargo bay to fly along with the passenger
-- The pet(s)/Dog is NOT ALLOWED to travel inside the cabin and travels as a cargo in the LIVE ANIMALS area in the SAME AIRCRAFT
Pet Travelling in the Aircraft:
-- Once you do the booking, bring your pet inside the Crate to the Airport ALONG with your paperwork (the various certificates + anti rabies vaccination records) for checking-in
-- Airlines demand that the dogs Anti rabies vaccination is less than 3 months old and the certificate should reflect that date
-- Once you are ready for check-in (after scanning the crate separately through the scanners), put your dog back in and they would weight the crate with and without the dog
-- After they weigh, they would charge you anywhere between 250 to 500 US Dollars for the pet to travel as EXCESS BAGGAGE
-- Once you pay that using your cash, credit card etc, the PET is given an Excess baggage ticket and is ready to move
-- They would leave the pet with you and you can check it in just before you move to immigration
While the Pet in Transit:
-- Lufthansa as part of its package, takes care of the Pet very very well
-- The pet gets off at Frankfurt in a pet lounge and is taken around for a walk (for relieving) and is given some dog food and water before being put back inside
-- They are handled by trained dog handlers and they are in real good hands (as far as my information goes)
Check-out in the US:
-- Your dog would reach in the luggage conveyor area while you clear immigration and come to pick you luggage up
-- They can be picked up (still inside the crate) and taken to Quarantine section where the "Animal Quarantine Center" letter that you got in india, is seen by the officer + a visual inspection of the pet is done before letting you go out
After everything is over, you are now inside the US with your dog :)
Cost of this overall experience:
--------------------------------------------
Cost of Crate = 3,000 to 10,000 INR
Cost of Ticket = 250 to 500 USD (approx. 12,000 to 24,000 INR); The cost is so varied because if it is a small dog like a Chihuahua it would cost 250 dollars but if it is big dog like a boxer, german shepherd, labrador they charge 500 USD for the baggage)
(i am assuming that you dont have any other costs for vaccination + certificates, in general)
Hope this helps!! Enjoy your time
