If it's very small or a young puppy you can carry it with you in a travel cage. If it's a big dog, it has to be checked in and it will travel with your baggage. If you are not flying with the animal - you would contact the airline that goes to the destination. They will tell you where to deliver the dog - usually a separate building at the airport. You will pay the fee and they will put the dog on the flight. Delta airline has something called a "Pet Pack" they will transport the dog from the holding area to the plane (right before it takes off) in an air conditioned vehicle so they dog won't be waiting outside in the hot weather. The last time I sent a dog from Houston to Reno it cost $185 But with higher fuel prices and other increased costs, it will probably be higher. Your dog will need a travel cage. Depending on where you are transporting your dog to, you may need to supply shot records and tags to customs. Also they will often require a quarantine period anywhere from, 2 weeks to 2 months, especially if they have problems with rabies and other out breaks in their country,or neighboring countries. Bringing your dog back from that country can be just as difficult. The States (at least used to), require a period of quarantine as well. Along with all the medical information to prove maintance of shots and health. A flight is noisy, cold and physcially hard and generally scary for the dog. I've had a dog and cat go through this process two times ( which means four quarantines) and it can be a great hardship for the animal, especially if they are high-strung, but any animal will suffer from the confinment and loose of your companionship. It takes a long time and much work and effort to help your dog over the after effects. IT is worth all the hardship, effort and time if you are going to be spending years in this country, but if your going for a few weeks you need to verify that your dog wouldn't be required to suffer a quarantine before you get to the airport. It may not be worth his suffering two flights and periods of quarantine with strangers (both other animals and humans) for a short period of time in a country you are not planning to live in. I strongly recommend you check with customs regarding their regulations concerning transporting animals into the country you are planning to travel to, and also our regulations to re-enter this country before you confirm any plans for you pets.

Many airlines will ship dogs as air freight. Check with the airline in question- most will requires a certificate from a vet before they will accept a dog for shipment.

You can check them into baggage if they are larger and in a crate. If they are small enough you can check them onto the plane with you but they have to be under the seat and in their crate the entire time. I would suggest putting a puppy pad in the crate in case of an accident. You should also call the airline first just to make sure because you might have to have a special pass or something. If it is a larger dog i probably wouldn't put it on the plane because i think it's a little mean, but that is your choice.

It depends on how old the dog is, where you are going, and the size (?).

If the dog is quite young/old, the plane ride may cause a lot of stress for them. And say, for example, that you were going to go to Japan. Japan is very strict about pets being taken with their owners because they are worried about if recording devices or other tiny devices were injected into the dog to spy on Japanese people. And the size, well.... If it's too big, then...

I think nearly every airline will allow you to travel with your pets. Most airlines keep the animals under the plane while only a few let your pet travel in the cabin with you. The downside to this is when travelling overseas, once you return to your home country they must keep the dogs in quarantine for several months.

I recommend asking the airline about their policies - each has different regulations for this type of question.

I would not take a pregnant dog on a plane. And a 60 lb dog would have to ride in baggage. Also the air is thinner as the plane goes higher. Granted it is controlled but still not a good idea.

How can I make boarding my dog for the first time less stressful He's 8 years old?

You can take a favorite toy of the dogs with it or something of yours that smells like you to keep with the dog. Actually, the dog will take it better than you will. Dogs live in the moment, they except things on a non emotional plane.
