You or may not need to remove your dog from the bag. You may or may not need to remove the hardware (leash, harness, collar) for the metal detector/x-ray. You may have to hold your dog for the x-ray. Try to use a collar/harness/leash with as little metal as possible (plastic ID tags if you can find them). They may use a wipe on your dog, so practice with a wipe at home so she won't be scared. I don't exactly know because I am a service dog, so the procedures may be a little different. It may be best to call the airport and ask them what the security process is for a pet, then you will have a better idea of what to expect. Basically, do whatever they ask you to do. It is a good idea to practice with other people holding and inspecting your dog so he/she won't be nervous. If your dog goes to a groomer, it is probably already used to being handled by other people.<br /><br />Sherpa makes several great bags that meet airline specifications. They are soft, so they can be made to fit under the seat. <br />Walk your dog before you go through security, there usually isn't any grass once you pass security. If your dog is pad trained, pack some with plastic bags to put the used ones in. <br />An anxiety wrap is a good idea if your dog is nervous, or has never flown. <br />Buy bottled water after security, you can't bring it with you before that point. Don't give your dog too much drink after security though. <br /><br />I hope all this helps. BOL!! <br />Hugs,<br />PepperAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09045593103520991265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7714465375747978711.post-20182099857615599832013-03-27T21:30:40.175-05:002013-03-27T21:30:40.175-05:00Wow I will try to follow those really good tips, b...Wow I will try to follow those really good tips, but im not sure about my dog and flying. im just confused about the security.

Being a tad over the 20 lb limit...limits me on how I travel. My peep will not put me in the hold unless she really, really has no other choice. However here in Europe its easy to go via train or car. <br />Thanks for the tips!<br />MaggieAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10372930592638550895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7714465375747978711.post-22760253704278488182013-03-16T23:24:15.235-05:002013-03-16T23:24:15.235-05:00Great Tips Pepper! :-)

But we prefer the pawrents' bed, so mommy always brings a big sheet to cover the bed with. One place we stay even provides that! She also brings baby wipes to make sure our footsies are clean befure we go in the room! She brings a roll of paper towels and cleaner/deodorizer, too, in case anyfur has an accident.

He actually did quite well - that was the days before carriers tho so he could ride in the back window and survey his kingdon.
