Has anyone used it for flying with your dog?

My friends and I have used this several time flying internationally. It works better than the medicine our vets prescribed. We gave it more than what they recommended on the bag

I purchased This as a last resort, I've purchase liquid holistic drops - it worked but then they slept and didn't move to go outside later on! I found tge thunder shirt works also!!

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've never tried, but I think it would be extremely susceptible to wind so you would want to be careful to only try it on very calm days. I can see just messing around with it on the back porch or something, but for serious backyard flying you might want to look for something bigger with higher performance and longer range.

I was told NO, you must have a hard sided crate to fly. Crates for little dogs under the seat may qualify however.I was asking about my large dog.

The Petmate website only states it is good for air travel but does list any ratings. I would reach out to Petmate's customer service and also the airlines.

yes you can smash it down. I've flown on Lufthansa many times with it. also delta but I don't recommend delta because they are easy more expensive and you basically have to have the dog on top of your feet because nothing fits under their seats sure to the tv boxes. I fly internationally with my dog on Lufthansa every few months the past 3 years with no problems.

Yes ... I have used it. It is awesome. No more fear of plane belts that "smoosh" you!

I have used it successfully with both my MacBookPro Retina and with my Mac Mini, with the neXt (CGM rc Heli) Simulator. I've not, nor do I plan to try it with the included software. You have to be sure to calibrate it correctly and make sure to keep the Mix switch (on the upper right) set to OFF if you are trying to fly a quad-copter sim. I hope to try it soon with a few other sims, as neXt is a bit limited.

From what I am aware of it should, most airlines just want your pet to be able to stand and turn around. The bag itself is the size of a small backpack and can be taken as a carry on.

My cats are 12lbs and it's OK for them but 15lbs might be pushing it. If your dog is under the seat inside the plane (and not below the plane with the luggage), it could work. But it would be snug to fit a water bowl or food. However, if you're flying with the dog you should be able to open it for him/her. I would take the measurements of this, cut up cardboard to match each side, and tape it together and see how your dog fits inside before ordering. Or go to a store that sells it and bring your pup to see how he fits.

I have not used the harness as a safety device for the car. It sounds like a good idea and I can see how it might work. If the harness is Not properly fitted on your pet they can wiggle out of the harness I still think the safetest method for traveling with a pet is a crate. Good Luck I hope this helps with your question.

We have taken our 12lbs Llhasa Apso on about a dozen flights so far, all but three international, including overseas. He can turn around in it and stretch out and seems quite comfortable. No one from the airlines ever asked any questions about the pod and we never needed to compress it (even though that option is there if they are being sticklers about the size). Our dog absolutely loves it, he even gets in it for a nap at home.

It is sturdy - but it can also be broken down in a matter of minutes. I am assuming that the airlines would be civil with your pet - making it something that they would most likely accept.

Absolutely! This particular model in my opinion is the best one to use for dogs. Once you get the hang of throwing it it tends to fly straight and it hovers for awhile and it land actually seems to land right in my dogs mouth. The aerobie pro would work also but your dog has to be extremely athletic and you need ALOT of space. This model is perfect for smaller areas and it does wear your pet out steam as quick

I believe the airlines won't let you stow it above with an animal in it, but possibly if empty. But that means they'd have to have a policy that allows you to have the animal in your lap. Most have a policy where the animal has to at least be in a carrier in your lap, between your legs or feet, or under the seat in front of you [during take off and landing at the very least]. Definitely check with whoever you plan to fly with.

I think so. The last time I flew the rule was the dog had to be able to turn around in the kennel. The one I used was softer and less sturdy.

I haven't flown with it personally... But we live at high altitudes and during the Pikes Peak Marathon, I have it at start at just over 6,000 feet and go up beyond 14,000 feet without problems and difficulty of the product being used. Really does work, BTW.

I don't know if I can make this type of answer, but this made me curious as I have mastiffs too but have never had to use air travel. It looks like Kostya will need to customize a plastic crate, build her own wood crate or hire someone experienced in these. I think you should be able to find experienced people as people fly with Great Danes quite a bit. Check out this link http://www.dryfur.com/modify_your_kennel.htm Good luck. And by the way, I do love this crate I bought.
