[NAGDU] Flying

[carcione at access.net]

Hi Steve.
I do my best to make sure my dog is empty.  I feed him, though, because he's
a lab and would be unhappy to not have something in his belly.  I might not
feed as much as usual, though.  And I'm careful not to let him drink very
much.  Then I give him as many chances to pee as I can before we go inside
the airport.  
If you have a long time when transferring planes, or a long wait after you
get in, you could ask if there's an indoor relieving area.  They're not
great, but my boys have used them when they needed to. Make sure you have
plenty of time, because the area might not be close to your gate.

Go get 'em at the rally!
Tracy

Hi All, 

 

I have flew with my other guide dogs short distances without any issues. In
October I will be flying from SC to California for the Ride Share rally. Any
tips for a flight this long with my guide Scooby?
