ROTT N CHATTER, November 1992, Volume 1 Number 4

 

                    BEFORE FLYING YOUR ROTTIE....

 

The American Dog Owner's Association has a brochure available that give a

lot of valuable information including rating the different airlines.

 

I will list a few tips here.  Try to see that your dog is loaded as late as

possible and that he/she is not taken out and left sitting in the sun. Never

tranquilize your dog as this can further slow oxygen intake which is already

at a premium in the cargo hold. Use only safe airline approved crates to

transport your dog in, ie., Vari-Kennel.  There are numerous other tips

available along with remarks regarding the individual airlines as mentioned

above.  I recommend you obtain a copy for your files.  You never really know

when something may come yp and you too will find yourself calling an airline

to transport your Rottweiler.
