| Flying new puppy home
I am getting a new puppy and he will be ready to come home in November, and the breeder I have chosen is a really long drive from our home. The breeder has suggested we fly in, pick up our puppy, then fly home with him. He said we could put him in a soft dog carrier that will fit under the seat on the aircraft. My question is has anyone here ever done this and if so what can I expect on the flight home from the puppy? I called the airlines and they stated I could not move him from under the seat at any point during the flight and could not even pick up the carrier and put it in my lap. I would have at least liked to be able to know that I could comfort him if her gets really upset. Also, if anyone has done this, is there anything that you would suggest I take with me that the puppy can play with while on the plane and should I line the carrier with puppy pads in case he has an accident? I believe the flight will be about a 2 hour one. Thank you for your help… |
