[NAGDU] Flying

[Tina Thomas]

Good morning all, 
 
When I have gone on flights with my dogs, I tend to look at flight time. Morning, noon or evening. That kind of gives me a timeframe to gauge and how I feed and water. If I have an early flight. When I have gone on flights with my dogs, I tend to look at flight time. Morning, noon or evening. That kind of gives me a timeframe to gauge and how I feed and water. If I have an early flight, I feed my dog half , a cup of food with half a cup of water. Afternoon I feed in the morning and make sure he’s empty before we get on the plane. Evening would depend.
