My new puppy (Newfoundland) will have a plane ride to get from the breeder to me. Is it safe for the puppy to fly with, unsupervised ?

It probably is....... It provides comforts for puppies and helps with separation anxiety. If the puppy ate tore it up, I don't think it would cause any harm to the puppy. I have purchased 3 different ones and the puppies have never eaten them like a play toy.

Airlines have strict policies regarding animal shipping for the safety of your puppy. They will usually not allow anything to be shipped in the puppy's crate except the absorbent lining and a water/food dish attached to the door-no toys, no chews. Puppy food and a collar/leash may be attached to the top of the crate.

If it were my puppy, I wouldn't put anything in that the dog might choke on. Why not ask the breeder what s/he recommends.

Tough question...there aren't any parts to chew off. The beating heart goes into the stuffed toyand then strong velcro keeps the beating heart inside. Airplane might have restrictions, however, on the batteries that go inside theanimal. Puppies are natural explorers. My guess is puppy might fall asleep on plane anyway. Call airlines for question on batteryguidelines. It is a wonderful product. Hope this helps.

Again, puppies are natural explorers. I guess I would save this product for when puppy getsto your home.

I have no idea. We've yet to take our little one on a plane ride. The best thing to do would be to contact the airlines and confirm. Enjoy!

It doesn't need to be airline-approved, but it does need to meet your particular airline's requirements for pets in the cabin. I checked with various airlines that I considered flying, and it met all of their requirements. I eventually used it on Alaska Airlines. This carrier has a handy zippered porthole to pet the animal without allowing much room for it to get out. Airline rules say the entire animal must remain inside the carrier at all times. This carrier also has seat belt guides, so it can be placed on a seat and buckled in securely. We fortunately had an empty seat next to us, so I did this for part of the flight, and did not have to pay for a second seat at full fare!

We've never used the 'small dog' formula but I suggest you anticipate that your dogs will react to this when flying similarly to how they would react whenever you give it to them when traveling. It doesn't work for all dogs all the time - nothing does.

I have a 55lb pittie mix with GIANT ears. I raised that same question with the cargo handlers and they said as long as his head wasn't touching he was ok, BUT that TSA would have the final say since he was flying as a cargo passenger and not on a cargo plane. My best advice is to touch base with your carrier directly and/or TSA.

I flew delta but there are restrictions regarding weather seasons. also dog & crate need to be under 100 lbs.

I fly Lufthansa and they said the dog had to be able to stand. Actually when you get their to Check in they are concerned with weight and that the dog appears comfortable. Sit with head down and forward or standing likewise is not a problem.

Yes I had a Nanday conure and I think your bird will be fine. I can also put my Cockatoo in there to when we get to our arrival I let him out to walk about.

The description states that it is, BUT, I personally would not trust this product for airline travel. Wonderful for car travel, or home crate training. I am a multiple dog owner, I would never use this to transport my pets.

Yes. I never thought of using it for a new puppy, but I don't see anything wrong with it. Good luck and congrats on your new puppy. :D

I'm not sure if it's FAA approved, I'd say might be a tight fit for your pup! My kitten is just 6 pounds and right now he's very comfortable but I see another carrier in his future! This is very well made product!! I am happy with it for now!

It would depend on the dog. If you are this concerned, you may want to consider a heavy duty, all metal kennel. They are expensive, but you won't have to worry about your dog escaping in an airplane. You might consider crate training so they aren't so freaked out in their kennel.

You would have to call airline to see if they allow pets. It fit perfect under the seat for Delta. Love the design. Lots of ventilation. My dog had room to turn around. She weighed 14lbs. Very sturdy.

Hi. I have used the large sherpa without wheels on cross Atlantic flights, mainly Lufthansa and Continental/United. The bag's measurements meet these airlines' guidelines, but it it is too large to fit under the seat in front of you. I always had it under my legs, which made an 8 hours flight rather uncomfortable. The bag with wheels is softer and bends more than the one without wheels, so you might be able to squeeze it under the seat, hoping that the dog tolerates it. My Westie's weight is 18 pounds and she fits well into either bag. On cross Atlantic flights the airlines are much stricter regarding weight and size of dog+bag (18 Pounds in all), sometimes I had to show that the dog was able to turn around in the bag. I would call Southwest Airlines and ask what their guidelines are; the space under the seat may depend on the type of aircraft. I don't believe that the medium bag can accomodate a 20 pound Cavalier, you need the large size. I would go to a pet shop and try it out before ordering it online.

Definitely. If you would like a temp replacement for real puppy this is a very good choice. The puppy has wheels just to let you know.Also it responds to voice. Really cute puppy..

I have an 18 lb Westi and have flown her in the U.S. without problems from USAir, AA, and Southwest. Can't answer about international flights

I used on on my motorcycle, my border collie puppy loved riding in it. But he was well trained for his age and would not jump out, so I did not tie him in. In case of an accident I cannot imagine it's safer being tied to a motorcycle in a milk crate.
