In some instances, tranquilization will help reduce anxiety and stress associated with traveling. Most animals can be safely tranquilized with the help of your veterinarian. You may take a small pet in the cabin with you if its crate fits under the seat in front of you. Your pet must be able to stand and turn around inside the kennel. Be sure to reserve a spot for your pet when you make your reservation.
Many airlines have limited space for live cargo.
Generally two large dogs is the maximum allowed on one flight. Many airlines request follow-up calls three days before the flight and the day of the flight to confirm that your pet is coming. Arrive at the airport an hour and a half before your flight. Most airlines require that your pet be flown in an airline-approved kennel. Inside the crate your pet should have enough room to stand up and turn around without its head touching the top of the kennel.
