mirawee Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 How many people usually leave collars on when flying? I don't generally leave collars on my dogs and am tossing up whether to this time... it has been 3 years since we went East to compete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dogsfevr Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Never put a collar on . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CareyJ Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 This is all great information :) I was worried about how flying us and the new puppy back from Sydney was all going to work but from this thread and the other one in General I am feeling like it isnt going to be hard at all. The jet lag from 3 weeks in the US and a puppy might be a lot harder! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ptolomy Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Good luck Amypie at the Nationals - we will be cheering from here - and good luck to Caffy and Snazzy too. My kids fly with collars on and I always put a spare lead under the bedding in the crate. There is nothing worse than trying to find your lead in your hand luggage with the dog going nuts in the crate wanting to get out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fetchindawgs Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 My dogs fly with collars on which have shire registration and microchip database info. I also have tags for their crates with their name, my name and contact details. Sometimes I attach a lead to the outside of the crate for convenience, and I have a water bowl attached to the grate on the inside of the door. Iceblocks in the bowl last longer than water, but will still melt before takeoff. Never had trouble flying the dogs, and always put bedding of some kind in with them. For those that wreck bedding, just a piece of carpet is all I use. Have been flying my dogs east/west for 15 years and only had two loading problems in that time that required a complaint to the airline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ness Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Awesome news MG - unfortunately mine isn't so good . Nearly 4 weeks down and not sure what Kenz has managed to do but she spent the better part of last night on three legs and very unsettled .

mirawee Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Good news about Gibbs' leg MG Not so good about his digestive issues Only 2 sleeps until I get in a plane Should I start packing yet??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mirawee Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Ness not good about Kenz I have to admit I gave up on trying to get Kinta sound after about 3 years... but she was never a real obvious lameness just very minor and in fact the first notice we often had that she was sore again was her going under jumps rather than over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ness Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Hmmm Mirawee this is her surgery leg though and not the one that usually bothered her . She is ok this morning not sure if its worth mentioning it to the specialist or not. We have had a few instances of her not putting weight on it after she has been crated and he doesn't think that is anything overly concerning at the moment combination of lack of activity and the cold but last nights was bizarre in that she hadn't been crated and she actually went to step on something and the leg appeared to buckle.

mirawee Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Personally I would mention everything as you never know what the Vet (or Doctor...) might find relevant :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
