Hello i was wondering what the dimensions were on the bag you used. I have a 7 month old schnauzer that i want to take with me next month.

Hi, I have a miniature schnauzer named Charlie that I’m trying to arrange travel from Atlanta to Los Angeles. He’ll be flying with my mom and brother to me in our new home on the west coast.

What size is Kaiser and what size/type/measurement crate did you get him?

I do not want to have him come as baggage or cargo but it seems he’s too big for the airline restrictions. Then again, I’m not great with numbers. Can you offer any help or advice? Charlie is pretty standard in height but weighs close to 20lbs.

Hello,
I am planning on traveling with my Mini Schnauzer, Peanut. Since I am traveling in the beginning of July I would like to have Peanut in the cabin with me. I have similar concerns though, because she is actually 20lbs (the vet says she might have some other breed mixed in there) and her legs are a little tall for the TINY carrier dimensions.

I have a carrier that is a couple inches above the required dimensions and she is pretty comfortable in. I’d like to use it, and from what other people have said, you can manipulate it a little because it’s soft, to fit under the seat.

Do you think I would be turned away?

Thanks.

Hi!
I plan to take Hans with me on Delta. It’s our first flight. He is taller and just making it at 20 pds. Do they weigh the dogs? I’m afraid he won’t fit under the seat to well. His legs are probably to long. Looking for the right soft crate any suggestions? I do plan on taking him to the vet for the sedative.

Hi!

Just wanted to let you know how the flight with Bowie went. I was very stressed out and got to the airport 2 hours before the flight. We checked in ok and then went to the security line. With no one waiting in line I thought it would be the best time to go through. WEll I had to take him out and carry him through the metal detectors and of course they went off because of his coller. It took me a few minutes to get the little guy back into his carrier and the head secruirity guard made a comment about how large my dog was for inflight travel… this made me very nervous but they let me go through. Once on the plane he settled down and no one around me even noticed I had a dog.

On another note after Christmas we had a little trip to the vet for his neutering and when I asked the vet about his size she informed me that he was definalty not a miniature and was either a standard schnauzer or had another breed mixed in there! Boy was I surprised I thought I bought a little dog!!
