taking dogs on a plane

has anyone ever taken their dogs on a flight? not on the plane with them, but in the live cargo or whatever??? if so, will you tell me your experience? thanks

A) Check with the airline, some do not allow it, especially during certain times of the year. (Winter and Summer) Due to the drastic temperature changes. B) It's extremely expensive c) Often you will have to take your dog there early drop them off they will be loaded separetly below the plane, and then you have to go to a special area to pick them up. 4) I have also heard that a lot of people with get doggy dramamine and give it to their dog prior to getting on the plane...relax them. %) Read up on it...I have heard some horror stories about it.

*sigh*

I too have heard some bad stories. You can't take Bruno on the plane with you? Even if you pay for a ticket? I've never done so I don't know. Heck send him out here and he can keep the girls company. They'd love to have a big strong man in the family. Hope ya find out more specifics and everything goes well. Hugs, Sparky

no. only little dogs. he's 50 lbs. not huge, but too big to go on a plane. shouldnt you be passed out on pain meds or something????

yeah but I'm tired of them and am only taking a little bit. This hernia thing really hurts though. More than the RNY did! I hate gettin old! I am taking the day off and am bored silly. HELP ME HELP ME!!!

my gall bladder being removed was worse than I remember wls. I will forward my customers to you. Please PM me your ph #...wait, I'll just call information. have fun. they are all riled up today.

Sparky ! I bet my knee here is a bit more sore then your hernia??? I am on some good pain meds and I can barely stand it.... I am so Loopy right now... But, it seems that its getting less stiffer each day now... Its just so tender... OUchie!! Infact its time for another dose. Its time for a party!! NOT!!

Tom, Do you notice the life of them doesn't last as long as it should? At least it seems that way to me. The Vicondin only lasts for about 2-3 hours whereas they say it should last 4-6. Does it seem that way to you? I wonder if it's because of the RNY? Yes I bet your knee is a lot more painfull! I had my ACL replaced and I really snivelled! Hang in there casue it's worth it! Bob

Good point there Bob! I have noticed that after 2 to 3 hrs. ... I need another dose... Infact my gf has my alarm set for every 3 hours ... LOL! Yeah... I think its true that the RNY has something to do with it... I am going to pass that on to my doctors. Tom
