What is the procedure for traveling with a small dog on a plane?
All of the below applies to domestic U.S. flights. If you are asking about another country or about international flights, the information will be different.At the time you make your reservation, you need to talk to someone at the airline by phone and reserve for the dog as well. Google your airline and “pet reservation” or “pets” to get the number to call.You must have a carrier for the pet that is well ventilated and fits under the seat in front of you. If you have any doubts about what to use, talk to the airline representative at the time you make the reservation. If you Google “airline compliant pet carrier,” you will get a lot of online locations where you can buy one.There is a fee for bringing the pet on the plane with you, which the airline representative will tell you about. It varies by the airline, but currently runs about $100 per each-way trip (that is, if I fly from San Francisco to Boston changing planes in Chicago, that’s $100. The return flight from Boston the San Francisco with be another $100).When you arrive in the airport, you have to check in at the counter in person, at which time you pay the pet fee. Be sure to allow extra time for this because you might have to wait in line.When you go through security, you remove the dog from its carrier, remove all metal tags that might set off the alarm, and carry it through the scanner with you.Otherwise, you are supposed to keep the dog in its carrier at all times. In my experience, this rule is enforced on the aircraft but not inside the airport. While changing planes, you can usually take the dog out to offer water and give it a chance to use a pee-pad if it’s trained to do that. Airports also have pet relief stations, but you will want to allow time during a layover to locate and use these.
What is the procedure for travelling with a pet (Dog) from USA to India?
If you want to take your dog from US to India there are few things you need to do. First thing is,they allow only small dogs or dogs which can fit in small/ medium crate which you can put under your seat. So if you have a big dog I doubt you will be able to travel with him. Secondly, there's definitely a ticket which will cost you around 250 dollars or more so be prepared for that. Also, You need to take a Health Certificate from the Vet which will show that your dog is healthy and fit to travel. And in case, you are unable to take your dog there are few options available. The best one , from my experience, would be to find a friend or someone in family whom you can trust that they can take good care of your dog when you are gone. If you don't have anybody then there are always pet sitters available in area which can keep dogs for longer period of time at their house and they will charge you accordingly. There's one site Rover.com: Book Dog Boarding, Dog Walking & More where you can find people for extended stay.Hope that helps.
Experience with in-cabin dog flying Lufthansa??
I will be moving to Germany at the end of May. I have an 11 year old Dachshund that is quite nervous whenever I take her anywhere (even in the car). I have a limited amount of options when it comes to airlines that allow pets to travel in-cabin. I refuse to stuff my dog into the bottom of the plane as "baggage", she would probably have a mental breakdown. I've flown with Lufthansa a crazy amount of times, but never with a pet. My question is: Does anyone have experience with bringing their pet(s) on board with them, flying transatlantic? Also: How strict is Lufthansa about their dimensions of the carrier? I can't seem to find one that exactly fits their dimensions. Include as much detail as possible in your answers, please! I love hearing about others' experiences. :)
What is the best country to travel with a small dog?
The French are very fond of FiFi et al, but they have a different attitude than Americans. Here in the USA, when I walk down the street and I see a pooch, I often say something like “What a nice doggie” and ask the owner if I can pet the pooch. This is not at all unusual, and the pooches and owners usually appreciate the attention,In France, I would say something similar in limited French. The owners and pooches were usually shocked that a stranger would want to pet their dog. Once the pooches got over their surprise, they seemed to like it, though.Apparently Muhammed did not like dogs at all; there are quranic verses with very negative remarks about Man’s Best Friend. So you probably want to avoid Islamic countries.

Worst experience dog park experience?
a couple months ago i was at a new dog park with my five pound dog ... he was playing with a beagle ... a woman arrived and in the area before entering the park proceeded to un-muzzle and remove a prong collar from a pit bull and let the dog into the park ... the pit bull came up to my dog first and both dogs just sniffed each other and then the pit bull turned its attention to the beagle ... the beagle took off running, the pit bull caught it by a rear leg and broke the leg ... in over twenty five years, that is my worst experience at a dog park ...
