It's important to make your pup comfortable during long flights. Read more below on how to get your pooch prepared for a long flight below.

When packing your puppy’s bag, you’ll need to keep in mind the pooch’s needs and comfort, as well as the comfort of your fellow passengers, during the flight.

Choose the Right Bag
It’s a good idea to learn the airline's policies about flying with pets, and make sure your carrier meets their size requirements.

Prep for Puppy’s Comfort
Your puppy will have to stay in the carrier for the entire flight, so be sure to make it as comfortable as possible. Although it’s tempting, you shouldn’t provide food or water during the flight.

Don't Forget the Doggie's Vitals
For your puppy, this might include his certificate of health, rabies vaccination tag and medical records, food and bottled water, his leash and collar with ID tag, and baggies for cleaning up after he relieves himself after the flight.

Pack Your Personal Items
Don’t forget that the puppy’s carrier counts as your carry-on luggage. Unless you’re travelling with a human companion who can carry your personal items for you, you’ll need to remember your own needs when packing your puppy’s bag.

It's pretty easy to forget the little things at home that can help you and your pooch travel comfortably. Luckily, these tips should cover all the bases before you board that plane. Enjoy your travels together and don't forget to take lots of pictures!
