I've been lurking on these boards for a couple of months now while I've been searching for my puppy. Now that I've found him, I realize there are still about a million things I haven't thought to ask yet!
I will be flying to meet my puppy for the first time next week. I have found an airline approved carrier and will be able to have him with me in the cabin
1) I have no idea if this little guy will be prone to motion sickness but I'm wondering if there is anything I can give him? Like would a small dose of children's dramamine work? (I've heard of others giving children's benadryl on these boards).
2) Should I have any kind of blanet/towel in the carrier? I'm worried about if the puppy does have an accident or get sick, what would make this the easiest to clean up?
3) If I can't "see" the puppy, what kind of toy/chew could I have have in the carrier to keep him occupied?
4) if he is prone to whining, what would you suggest to calm him? I know I'm not allowed to remove him from the carrier while on the plane no matter what so what might be the most soothing for him?
5) Since I will have to arrive at the airport at least an hour prior to take off and we will have an hour layover (plus a three hour car ride after getting off the plane) is there anywhere at the airport that I could let the little guy stretch his legs? (on a harness of course)
Thanks for your help!
