Has anyone ever taken a small dog on an airline trip as a carry on?



I was wondering to those of you who have taken a small dog on an airline before, how much did it cost? And what were the rules as far as having them on your lap during flight(except take off and landing obviously), but I have a chiweenie and he’s not super small but small enough where he would fit in a puppy carry on. Also, how did your dog deal with using the bathroom. . . I have a 6 hour flight. Any info is helpful! Thank you!

  1. You can pay a fee to have them as a carry on but they need to be in a carrier at all times. Those are the rules so don’t try to be a pain like some people and take them out to put on your lap.

    nope, but I have brought them as carry on in a train without much trouble.

  3. You should just keep him in the cargo area. I can’t imagine the dog will be happy on a six hour flight, and it might make a lot of noise. Besides, if you can’t open the cage what’s the point of having it up there?

    Also, wtf is a chiweenie?

  4. I flew to America. You can take a small dog in a Sherpa or other pre-approved soft-sided transport.

    the dog has to fit comfortably in an airline approved carrier that also fits carryon standards. . the carrier will ride under your seat, or under the seat in front of you. The dog will stay in the carrier during the entire flight,, he is not allowed out.

    Some airlines do not allow dogs as carry on, and some have a limited number that they allow per flight. . so you really need to make these arrangements when you book your flight.

    If this is an international flight, or a flight to hawaii, your dog may not even be allowed in cabin, as there are stricter rules and regulations regarding paperwork, importation laws, proper vaccinations, quarntine, etc. .

    Most airlines require a health certificate from your vet. . there are a few that do not require it for carry on, but do expect to need this. . check with the airline.

    Average fee for carry on is $50-100 per flight. . . again, call the airline.
