I just got back from BC, we flew of course, and when we were waiting for the plane to come in so we could board I watched another plane being unloaded. I saw 3 dog crates with dogs in them, and that made me wonder, wouldn't the pressure freak them out? wouldn't they get really cold in the cargo hold? When they were going down the conveyor belt all three were moving around frantically and I couldn't help but feel bad for them. How safe is air travel for dogs? I know that you can put some breeds under anesthesia for a long plane ride. Anybody have any experience with flights and their dogs?
(I know there are some pet friendly airlines with shelf-like things in the back where your dog over 35lbs can stay ((like nantucket airlines and such)), and under 35 pounds can stay with you at your seat, but I'm wondering about when your dog has to be in the cargo hold)
