Will my ShiChon fit comfortably in a 17x11x11 airline carrier?

She needs to be able to comfortably lay down and turn around in the carrier. The easier kinds are the one with a door on the front and top. Length would be nose to butt not doing the tail as it is curled mostly in carriers. Height would be feet to shoulder or head and keep in mind they are a little taker when they sit

Flying can be very stressful, especially when flying with pets. Since Eva is so small she should be able to go in the cabin with you, under the seat. The cabin is pressurized and she will be with you. I always recommend putting a few of her favorite treats in a take off to help with the ear popping. Most of the time the animals fall asleep. More often then not we worry about this and they usually do fine. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach and enjoy your trip!

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!

Usually the short nose will affect the pet in extreme temperatures. Flying in the cabin with you is the safest route as the temperatures are generally well regulated. You are correct that giving certain tranquilizers that affect the blood pressure is not recommended. I recommend to have Troy visit his veterinarian for a general exam prior to the flight. The doctor will give him an overall exam and check for any problems that should be addressed prior to the flight. At that time, you can also discuss any sedatives or other concerns. Some airlines also require a health certificate and proof of vaccination so make sure you understand your airline requirements. I hope this is helpful and please feel free to post any additional questions!

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! If your puppy is on a leash and sitting on your lap I think it is fine, if it is legal, to take Taffy on the bus. In the US we have to follow the laws and most dogs would have to be in a pet carrier to ride on public transportation. Bring water with you and food if the trip is a long one. But I think Taffy will be fine. I wish you the best!

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Congrats! It is MUCH safer to have the puppy with you under the seat. I do not recommend a bully breed, especially a puppy to be checked in the cargo area. As soon as the breeder deems him weaned and ready then he can fly with you. Good luck!

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.
