While dog-lovers with smaller breeds can simply slip their furry friends into carry-on luggage, that is not easy to do when you have a Saint Bernard. But that does not mean you must leave your pet behind (which you want to avoid if you’re travelling alone<\/a> or moving to a new city<\/a>). Whether you are moving, taking a vacation, or going away on business, there are a variety of options for flying with a large dog. Here is what you need to know.<\/p>\n

The Basics of Flying with a Large Dog<\/span><\/h2>\n

Flying with your furry friend isn’t as traditional as flying with a child<\/a>. Understanding the right way to fly with a pet, especially large dogs, requires planning. It’s not something you want to figure out on the fly (pardon the pun) or wait until the day-of to figure out. Look into the airline you are flying with and figure out if they accommodate large dogs and what their policies are. Some airlines provide crates, but most require that you bring your own.<\/p>\n

If you do not have a crate, you need to give yourself enough time to find and purchase a comfortable crate as well as train him or her not to panic when they are inside their crate. Ideally, your dog is properly crate trained<\/a>. But, if not, they should at least have some familiarity with spending time in their crate. Even if you just buy the crate a week in advance and put your dog in it with treats for a few hours a day, that will help tremendously on the day you depart.<\/p>\n
