Hello all, I will soon be flying to Japan with Mascot. I know pets have flown to these distances before because I have military friends who have taken pets overseas. Anyhow that doesn't make me any less worried about the trip for Mascot. We aren't able to take him in the cabin with us as I originally hoped. He will fly under the plane which I hate. Has anyone else had to fly with their pet under the plane and what are some tips on how to make them more comfortable? The trip will be extremely long, between 18 and 20 hrs!
Should I put him in a larger kennel then the one he sleeps in at night? It is pretty roomy, but where will he go to the bathroom? Mascot is 10 lbs how will I keep an unlimited supply of water in there with him and if he has unlimited water won't he constantly be peeing in there? Also Mascot goes for 3 poo walks a day..... where will he take care of that? I am worried about putting him under the plane. Any suggestions would be so awesome! Thank you so so much. Dot
