International travel with Dogs
Hi,
I am hoping against hope that someone may have had experience doing this from the USA. I have two small (well!, not so small) dogs, 17 lbs and 20 lbs. I would like to take them with us in the cabin but from what I read on the airlines sites, their dimesions allowed are not much bigger than a small toy dog. I am desperately soliciting solutions, advice (please no wisecracks - too tired to entertain those) from the NG. I am open to travel continuously, travel with breaks in europe or Asia. Money is not a problem as long as it is within reason (short of chartering a plane) Thanks in Advance |

Even when the dog is of the right size it very often there is a limit of one dog in the cabin per flight. International flights are pretty long to expect of a dog.

Money is not a problem as long as it is within reason (short of chartering a plane) International travel with dogs is full of time consuming regulations. It doesn't sound like much fun to me. You would have to research the laws for each country a minimum of six months before travel to ensure you have adequate time to meet requirements. You will need to keep meticulous records on innoculations and health checks. The order in which you visit each geographic area is also important to consider. Often exclusion is based on whether the country the dog is going to is free of a disease that exists in the country the dog is coming from (or has recently been to). Islands may well be entirely out of the itinerary as they often have the most stringent regulations. Even within the US, for example, you may not casually take a dog to the state of Hawaii. -- Diane Blackman http://dog-play.com/ http://dogplay.com/Shop/ |

Thanks for the reply, It is not so much for fun but more for other reasons.
Any other ideas? wrote in message ... On Wed, 08 Jun 2005 23:24:43 GMT beebop whittled these words: Hi, I am hoping against hope that someone may have had experience doing this from the USA.
