Tranquilizers for Bringing Small Dog on Plane
I will be traveling at the end of this week with my 3 yr old Pomapoo and would like some feedback regarding the use of tranquilizers. It is about an hour flight, and he will be flying in a soft carrier in the cabin with me, under the seat in front of me. He is an anxious little dog and is very excited around a lot of people. This is the first time I am flying with him and I would like some opinions into the safety/usefulness of tranquilizers. I have read a lot about how dangerous they are, but most of that seems to pertain to dogs traveling as cargo, not in the cabin. Is there any difference? I don’t want him barking and whining, and I want him to be comfortable- but at the same time, I’d much rather him go through an hour of being anxious than have him get sick or, god forbid, die. Any advice or input would be greatly appreciated.
