There are different products available online. Here are two websites that you can look at. You also need to look at your airlines specific requirements to make sure the product meets their standards. http://www.pet360.com/product/56464/petego-universal-sport-bag-pet-travel-carrier http://www.pettravelstore.com/petmate-airline-cargo-crate-small/

Hello and thank you for reaching out to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Putting a pet into cargo can be scary, as you cannot check in on them during that time. I recommend providing blankets and toys that may make her feel more comfortable. You can ask your veterinarian for light sedative medications that you can give prior to the flight to help her relax. I hope this is helpful!

Hello! Travel can be very stressful so it's good you're looking into this for your pets. Unfortunately for pets traveling via air there aren't many oral medications that have been proven safe. Some of the calming supplements and thunder shirts have had some success with travel and could be tried. I recommend trying them weeks before travel just in case they don't work so different options can be tried. Continuing in acclimating your pet to the crate is a good idea. Try making it a safe place for your pet with toys, treats, favorite blanket, etc Lastly you should follow your airlines' guidelines on last feeding/watering. It can vary depending on flight lengths, layovers, etc.

HI, thanks for for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I would start training her to a dog car seat around 12-14 weeks and hopefully have her comfortable and sitting it it full time by 6 months or sooner. Congrats on your new addition and good luck

Hi, thanks for using Petcoach! I'd call your Vet and ask for a sedative or "doggie downer." They can prescribe a safe drug to prescribe to make the car rides safer. You can also try a more natural approach with something like this: https://www.chewy.com/vetriscience-composure-behavioral/dp/42645 Good luck!
