I will be bringing my little Norwich Terrier on a trip to Denmark. We will take off from San Francisco to New York and then from New York to Denmark.
The total travel time is 15 hrs, 5 and 8 hours plus some overlay time.
He will be sitting with us in the cabin in a special carrier. What can i do to make the flight time the most comfortable for him?
Answer
Ask your vet for a tranquilizer. This is not an unusual request and he'll just give you however many is needed for the trip. Just pop it in a piece of hot dog or cheese and give it to him about a half hour before boarding. He'll not be "knocked out," just pleasantly sleepy and calm. It will be much less traumatic for him.

Is it safe to travel with my dog on a plane?

I have heard that there are some horror stories and the airline employees put the animal at the wrong end of the plane where the air is not pressurized.
Does anyone have experience with dogs on a plane as cargo? I am traveling with mine in late september and a little nervous.

A friend of mine travels with his siberian husky from New York to California at least every other month, and has never had any problems. He jokes that if his dog had a frequent flier number, he would have racked up a lot of miles by now.
His advice:
Make sure you notify the airlines that you are flying with a pet. They need to know so that they will prepare for it. Most airlines will not allow you to fly with a dog without prior arrangement.
When you check in, make sure to mention again that you are flying with a pet.
When you are boarding the plane, mention one more time that you are flying with your pet. This will ensure that at least 3 people at 3 different times heard you.
For your dog:
freeze some water and then attach it in the crate. As the flight goes on, he will have a constant supply of water nearby that won't spill. He puts calming formula in the water, which helps to calm his dog. http://www.petherbsdirect.com/calming-formula-for-dogs-2-p-54.html?osCsid=8648cfc02019953d7a506574e3640108
Feed him a small meal a couple of hours before flying and then walk him. Make sure he has a bowel movement. Allow him to stretch his legs and try to tire him out. He will rest for most of the flight.
Place a toy or favorite blanket in the crate.
Make sure that your dog has tags with a number where you can be reached. Make sure that the crate has the same info.
Best of luck on your trip.
