I know the airlines only approve certain types of carriers for pets. But I'm not finding anything large enough for a flight this long where there'd be separate areas for sleeping, food and to eliminate. Do they make something for flights of this length? Thanks!
Answer
A full grown dog can go 12 hours+ without food. Travel, especially air travel, is stressful for a dog to begin with. Feed the night before you leave and then not until after you've arrived and settled in. Traveling on a full tummy is only likely to add vomit into the mix. But, to answer your question, dogs crates aren't meant to be eliminated in. Make sure your dog goes at the airport before check-in and as soon as you land and it should be fine. The crate should be large enough for the dog to stand and turn around in. Fresh water can be given via bottle, but make sure its a good on that wont leak; otherwise your dog will have an uncomfortable trip.

Do you crate your dogs together?

I have two dogs and they currently sleep in their own crates. I would really like to start crating them together, for space reasons. But, I'm worried my puppy would drive my older dog (she's 3 yrs.) crazy all night. My older dog sleeps all night,no problems. But I know that our pup sleeps for several hours, then chews on a toy, rearranges her blankets,etc. Do you think she would bother my older dog? Every night the puppy tries to get in the crate with my older dog,and I'm tempted to try it but I dont want my other dog to be uncomfortable. Should I get them one larger crate and let them share? Maybe they could learn to like being together for warmth and companionship? Who knows. What do you think?
I think I will just keep their crates seperate. Even though I think the puppy would love it, my older dog wouldnt appreciate it much. She likes to sprawl out. Maybe we'll just let them crate together in the daytime when we leave, but have their seperate crates at night.

......HERE"S YOUR ANSWER......12 dogs later.....Crate dogs together?......NO........I could give you all the reasons , but hopefully your instincts will back me up...I used to have four crates.....all together ...like a cube....two levels....with nice looking blankets over the top , that we unfolded at night, making them a nice dark , quiet, safe place of thier own...they used to run to their little crates at night when we gave the bedtime signal...sometimes , one dog would go to a lower level crate during the day to relax , or get away for some solitude...there were lots of soft blankets, washed regularly in the floor of their "rooms"......it probably would be nice for the puppy now...but you'll have to break the habit later as they grow......my dogs used to have their own "spots" picked out in the front room...if one dog tried to take somebody else's spot with a particualar pillow....a fight broke out...I think they like their own space as adult dogs....they are territirial and will mark territory to claim it as their own...why should their "bedroom" be any different?...I am sure yuor adult dog would tolerate the puppy......the puppy will get used to the other dog "being close by" for comfort.....in another crate.....
