How to choose the best food for my dog's long airplane travel?

Don't feed her after midnight the night before you travel. Take up the water that morning and walk her just before you go to the airport and before you board or load her (if possible). When you get to your destination, wait an hour or two then feed and water half what you normally offer. Feed the remainder after an hour if there is no vomiting. This can happen with travel.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Orcan. It would be fine to give him a small meal about an hour before his flight. Then be sure to walk him so he has an opportunity to defecate if necessary. Then you can feed him the remainder of his dinner after the flight. A dog his size can easily be fasted 12-24 hours. So you flight time will be fine for him. Be sure to provide him with water. I hope this information helps!

In a puppy this age, I would not be comfortable completely skipping a scheduled meal. I would suggest giving her a smaller-than-normal breakfast that morning, and then perhaps a snack once you arrive at your destination.

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.

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!

This can be fine, but I would test them on it first at home. You don't want them to have an adverse reaction to it, and they be in the cargo area where you can't reach them. Try it on them a couple of times first at home.

Make sure you take him in a carrier that is big enough, notify the airline as soon as you can as they might let you take Creamo with you on the plane. it's not recommended to give sedatives anymore during flights.
