The same people in here demonizing this person having to do this would be raising hell if the person had to rehome their pet. Sometimes it’s one or the other. Not everyone lives in a perfect bubble where they never have to make hard choices.
My daughter in laws cat flew all the way from the Philippines to Scotland on three different flights.He got here the day before her.I was so worried he would be traumatised.He arrived and his crate was spotless,he had food & water attached to his crate.The care he got when cleared for entry. 3 hrs. Was evident.When he arrived at me he sauntered out his crate and walked around the house and was so calm.I sat on the floor and waited for him to come to me….he was purring the whole time.
With the horror stories of dogs being placed in the freezer section of the plane. I'd never chance it again. Her dog was small enough to be a carry on. It's the same price under the seat as it us in the planes belly.
Thank you so much for this video, I'm so happy to see the process so that I can help prepare my dog when I decide to fly with them. Also, not everyone has family or friends that they can leave their pets with. I'd much rather do this than trust a kennel, or someone on Rover. I wish there were better options for pets, but businesses don't see them as a priority even though more than 50 percent of the population has at least one dog in the US
If your dog is less than 20 lbs. You can put him in a Sherpa bag and he'd need to fit under the foot well of the seat. You can't take him out. But you can stroke him to let him know your there. This is how my dog 🐕 flew his whole life.
Im grateful for this video. I didn't think to put a camera in the crate until i saw it. Thank you for your service 🙏🏽. Watching made me think of Noah's Ark and all the animals that were saved during the flood. One of my pups is a senior, so her night vision may be blurry during our flight. Your video let's me know i need two cameras for both crates and two adhesive solar lights in the crate so they can have a small night light. This was so cool to see. It gave me confidence! 😊
I dont think it is legal to do it. Usualy you're not allowed to take picture on technical airport area for safety issues. 🤷♀️. It is putting your pet at risk to be denied to emboard.
No wonder many animals dont make it.. its beyond terrifying . Airlines must come up with a better option . Maybe a pet only flight? Or special sections to have them beside their owners? I could never ever imagine putting my pooch in cargo. I just wouldnt fly
What do you mean by don’t make it?? 😔😔😔😔 guys I moved from Croatia do Madrid and flight is only way to bring my dog here since I don’t have a car. I am quite stressed about it and this comments are not helping 💔
Pets not making it in the cargo hold is a very rare occurrence.. although it does happen. But it’s not many haha look up the numbers and facts with a quick google search.
@@angel_on_earth I flew my dog from America to Thailand. She slept the whole next day but wasn't traumatized. We are about to fly back 6 years later and there;s been no issues getting her back into the cage.
Thanks for sharing this atleast we know how they transport dogs on a cargo. I brought mine in Canada but thankfully I got her on the Cabin. I also posted a video to give hope for those who are planning to bring their dog to Canada ❤
I have a friend who helps the local pet station, they send them to new owners. She makes a chamomille tea, strong, and gives it to them. Apparently it hells them stay calmer
That's amazing to watch! I had my pets moved from Costa Rica to Saudi Arabia a couple years ago and always wondered how the process worked from their perspective
Would have been nice to see what happens on arrival too I have to put both of my 80Ib Labs on a flight in cargo soon as well (it‘ll be a 9hr overnight flight!) - am totally terrified but am not going to leave them behind, abandon or re-home them!! We are re-locating to another country so definitely not just a short holiday. I so wish i could take them into the cabin with me since they are my family but apparently they aren’t family when flying it seems (I’d pay extra for a couple of dogs to sit next to me, then sometimes some other rude or annoying person!). I really wish there was an airline that allows owners with their dogs (in crates sure) to fly in cabin instead of getting shoved in a box, in a dark noisy room getting scared shitless. They could offer smaller planes with fewer seats and enough space to accommodate a crate or 2 next to the seat - 1 dog per adult allowed on flight, if more pay extra, but to have the option would be awesome!! Passenger/Cargo combo but everyone can stay together, reassure the pets, keep them calm etc. overnight flights would obviously best since everyone will be asleep but they‘ll be near each other all the way!
No te permiten en general hacer eso. El pasaje para una mascota es muy caro tambien y viaja en bodega. Estoy por irme a hungria y el pasaje de mi perro cuesta unos 800 usd en cargo asi
This dog is not calm. Did you hear him growl? Twice, right at the beginning and then again at 7.59.Also observe the ears, they couldn't be further back. His mouth is closed and tense. That's one anxious dog.
Might be good to use a solid plastic water container attached to the crate for future flights. A paper cup (like the McDonald's one) gets soaked over time and water can spared inside the crate. In the worst case, the animal sits in the wet without water.
@@jazzthewayyoulikeit it’s because pets aren’t trained unfortunately, and have put way to many lives at risk on planes and have interfered with working animals such as service dogs, if people trained their dogs pets probably wouldn’t need a fee to fly with their owners!
@@jazzthewayyoulikeit The money I paid for my dog to go to private boarding while I went away could have gone to having her own seat on the plane. I could fit her into a "large crate on top of the airline seat with a foot stand under it. I refuse to put my dog through the kind of traumatic stress the airlines currently provide for large dog travel. Yes, there are people that are not willing or can't afford to pay for the extra seat, but there are also some people that "will" if they "can" afford it. I will NEVER put my dog in the current travel option unless I would be allow to lay in the crate with her for the whole fight as well. YUP! I would do that if it meant keeping my dog relaxed and less stressed.
About to do this to my 50 lb collie moving from Europe to the US. No, it's not ideal, but I'm not leaving my dog behind. At first the darkness bit upset me, but animals in the wild would be used to complete darkness in nature. It's probably better that it's dark.
Hi, what camera did you fit inside the crate? If you can provide a link that would be grate. Maybe I would get one with night vision if it goes all dark.
I don't know the name but its a only about 100euro actioncam, I put it with tape in the back of the crate. Yes I recommend buying something with nightvision anf long battery life because mine died after 2 hours.
Thank you for posting this insightful video. In advance you can also do crate training with your pet so that it feels more comfortable when it's time to get in the crate for travel. Additionally it is good to tire out your pet by walking them so they will nap during transport, it helps ease their anxiety. Feeding and giving them water only as instructed by the airline so they aren't dealing with having to go in the crate ortunny aches.
@@worldsgoncrayi would totally love this option but unfortunately there are no roads from the US to the UK!. I was even prepared to go with them on the Queen Mary 2 cruise ship for a 7 day trip from NY to Southampton UK, but their large dog kennels are fully booked until 2026 - well, we are re-locating in April2024 so that‘s not an option. I think i will have to make my 2 dogs and me „suffer“ through this already terrifying trip - i would pay for 2 extra plane tickets to have my dogs next to me in a crate even. Both are 80Ib dogs, so no chance of that happening i know.
Which camera did you use for this? I’d love to do the same for my dog for when we travel and he has to go in cargo unfortunately 😢 please let me know Thankyou!
Great video. I’m taking my dog to Singapore soon and I’d love to see her too. What camera system did you use, and how did you install it? Please let me know. Thanks Doug
Did he ever reply to you about the camera system? I‘m relocating to the UK soon and have 2x 80Ib Labs that i will absolutely not leave behind but would be interested in installing camera system also just to know what‘s really going on
How whas your dogs reaction when you arrived at your destination and picked him up? We will fly too with our dog in cargo for almost 3 hours and 15 minutes so I'm very nervous about how my dogs reaction. Will he be calm or very scared because of the sound voice from the plane? Why is there no one with them to take care of the pets if it is necessary to calm the pets when they are afraid and very nervous? İt is so unfair to put them there alone in the dark with the scary voice of the plane. Everyone with pets wants the best for them, if it is possible take them in the cabine with you. They have also the right to be handle with carefully like baby's. They are not bagages to put them there alone.
In this era, there is so many options. Dogs can wear those muzzels i think its Called, and be in the cabin with us for an extra seat. No problems at all. All safe and No danger, nothing. And also those no pulling collar. Seriously I wish they would at least have an small area just for dogs maybe 6 seats at least for dogs to travel with their owners., small or big dogs, it doesn’t matter!
Try maybe cargo carriers. They carry animals much more humanely and not all in the dark. There is also someone who tends to them (i.e horses oftrn carried like that)
It's so inhumane how we treat them, still. Poor creatures :( I genuinely think leaving ur dog behind while u travel for a few weeks is better for them. Yes u may not like it but that's your feelings. They would stay with a dog sitter, have a routine and be physically ok. In this scenario, they are in physical discomfort and scared while you are feeling great. The only genuine reason to do this is if ur moving permanently or adopting the animal..
You are totally right. You can just travel with your dog in the car and it will be much more comfortable for the dog, especially if it’s used to drive a car. But some people are extremely egoistic and just drag their dog on holiday and put it on a plane. Because they don’t want to pay for a sitter or they don’t want to travel to a nearby country.
@@yllia2852 or the dog is used to it, loves to join in on vacation and these people are from Sweden.. good luck driving to a warm country with a dog in the car for 20+ hours. A flight only takes 2-4 hours to Greece and it’s done. At least they don’t abandon their dog with a stranger.
@@TellmeIamawesome Unless you're moving permanently, there's really no reason to fly your pet cargo. Can't part with them for a short vacation? Then let them fly in the cabin with you. If the owner can afford a flight to some place for a temporary siesta, they can surely pay an extra to keep their pet more comfortable. Otherwise, they shouldn't get a dog.
People in these comments are acting like you’ve put a human baby in a crate by itself 😅 dogs are very resilient animals. Yes, it is a stressful and confusing experience for them but if they have been properly crate trained they should feel safe and secure in there. It is also the owner’s responsibility to ensure their dog is suitable for a flight. Some dogs simply cannot handle it. This one seems very calm and docile. A good boi :) Thank you for posting this informative video so us dog owners can understand what to expect when flying with our pups! 😊
Thanks for this comment, the same people complaning would crusify me if I left my dog with a friend or at dogcare. She is family I have her tattoed on me and I would never leave her behind. This was her third time traveling to Greece. So this was her 5th flight Always direct flights. I was just curious to see if she is together with other dogs etc. She loves being in Greece , playing with my cousins 3 year old, swimming in the ocean, she jumps in herself to swim and laying in the sun with her head in the shade.
@@john13arva I also want to say I appreciate this video. Im planning to fly my dogs overseas and people keep telling me the worst horrorstories, but all I want to see is how they handle the pups at the airport and how they secure them. I dont understand how people get so angry. Of course Id fly cabin with my dog if possible but sometimes thats not possible so you have to find alternatives
Thank you for this very informative video but dang, I am now getting very anxious for my dogs. I will be travelling a 25 hour trip to go back home in Manila, Philippines and this is so very terrifying for me even! To be in the dark with the loud noise - I will go crazy! There must be an airline somewhere thinking of having a strictly for animals cargo with lights that never get turned off. Oh dear .... I will most definitely buy this camera! John, what kind of camera did you use? Is there one that can go from boarding to de-boarding? Oh my .... I have two huge dogs - a Dobermann and a Bloodhound, and a small mountain cur.
Hi, the camera is a simple action l camera for around 100 euros. A cheap "gopro" My intention for putting it up was just to see how my dog reacts during takeoff and if she is together with other dogs and ofc curiosity to see how their journey is compared to ours. But then I realized the informative part of the video and I uploaded it here in full length uncropped (just sped up) so more people could see what traveling in cargo is like for our beloved dogs. This was just a 3 hour flight. 25 hours is a very long flight. If you want to record for a longer time and record in the darkness during takeoff I would recommend buying a more expensive camera that maybe eveb have nightvision. Or buy just one nice actioncamera that is waterproof that you can use for underwater pictures etc. Be aware that legally I didn't have any permit to use the camera, I traveled from one European county, some countries maybe are very strict against using cameras and filming parts of the airport that are restricted for non workers. I would not have tried this traveling outside of Europe because I dont know the local laws and wouldn't take that risk.
Really really sad for them. I don't like people who have an issue and complain about pets on flights etc. They have no idea about these man made machines and sounds we out them through. Scary for them
I’m flying from Frankfurt to Charlotte. I’m having to put my cat in the cargo hold. I booked my ticket with a cat in-cabin, got to check in and was told that is impossible because they don’t allow pets in cabin AT ALL on international flights. American Airlines is the worst!!!
Thank you very, very much for this video! It is clear to me that this doesn't seem to be a good enough option. Stockholm-Athens is a very short flight, can you imagine intercontinental flights? Dogs will have to poopoo in their crate! Isn't it strange that no-one said anything to the dog? How jaded can you get?
Better to leave them alone at a stranger or dogcare? My dog would feel so abandoned and sad. And she loves being on vacation, swim in the ocean meet my cousins kid that's she loves and that loves her so much. 3 hours of flight or 4 weeks without her loved ones. For us it's an easy answer.
I don’t want to bring my dog with me, I mean I want to, but putting them in the cargo scares me. The only reason I have to is because we’re moving to Australia
El perro esta aterrado con miedo.No es adecuado llevarlo como carga en el avión.Le puede dar una convulsion de nervios oh ataque al corazón. Muy absurdo y peligroso.
The money I paid for my dog to go to private boarding while I went away could have gone to having her own seat on the plane. I could fit her into a "large crate on top of the airline seat with a foot stand under it.

they are actually in a completely separate part of the plane, they are not with luggage and it is temperature controlled the same as what you experience in flight
It’s great to see your dog is so calm during the experience. I was the same when I flew in the hold too. I’ve flown in cabin a few times too and often I was more stressed in the cabin because I was enclosed in a much smaller bag and I could see my humans but wasn’t allowed out to them so was quite stressful. So going in the hold can sometimes be a better option!
This dog is not calm. Did you hear him growl? At 7.59.Also observe the ears, they couldn't be further back. His mouth is closed and tense. That's one anxious dog.
You're right, people would say military people shouldn't deserve pets if they keep rehoming them after having to move. Most of the time people taking animals abroad is to move with them and it's a terrifyingly risky experience. no one wants their pet to die on the journey.
@@hihellohihey hey, you get your dog back at special baggage, you just wait there and they open door and leave your dog. Usually you get pet back first rheb rest bags come on the belt.
Imagine how scary takeoff and landing are completely in the dark right under the plane!! Horrifying! Especially if the dog is sleeping when the plane lands! This should be called “how to scar your dog for life tutorial” so many dogs have been ruined behaviorally or outright died from this, I also don’t think the underbelly of the plane is temp controlled, so it gets very hot, if they don’t die of overheating it’s either they get lost or abused by people who load them up and treat them like luggage, if none of those things you’re lucky and now have a dog with fear aggression issues or worse, my fist dog became extra fear aggressive after we had to do this when we moved, with that being said though, training and leadership will get your dog back to normal but it may take a VERY long time to get the dog over the trauma created by this,
Probably, I didn't. But I risked it because I was traveling from an EU to another EU country. And staff did see and even waved to the camera so I don't think they had a problem with it and didn't complain about it. My reasoning is that it is a public place and I don't need permission to film and upload a video filmed in public. They had ex rayed the crate just before the video starts so it didn't film any security control and it didn't show anything in the backround that I consider to be illegal to film/upload. I would not have done it if I was traveling outside of Europe, because there I know even less about locals laws.
@@john13arva Thanks for that, interesting. We’re thinking of migrating with our kitty from the UK to Australia and wondered if we may be able to do similar, but honestly I think I’d rather not know and hope she just wasn’t stressed to hell. The quarantine in Aus would almost certainly have an issue with it anyway.
Did anyone get what airline this was? I heard Alaska isn't bad. I'm moving & I think a 2.5 hour flight is better than an 19 hour drive. Just my 2cents.
We flew Alaska from CA to Hawaii and we were very nervous since we have a anxious dog who is scared of loud noises. by the time you have to check in he was in the crate 9-10 hrs. He seemed totally fine and calm, we were happily surprised.
The same people in here demonizing this person having to do this would be raising hell if the person had to rehome their pet. Sometimes it’s one or the other. Not everyone lives in a perfect bubble where they never have to make hard choices.
The noise, acceleration... They could at least leave on a little lightbulb.

Someone needs to do this with night vision so we can see the dogs reaction to lift off
That’s terrifying. He was so calm though. I never thought about them being in the complete dark that whole time☹️
Calm? The poor dear was terrified and growling everytime someone went near him
@@Nil-tz6gy yeah she was!
probably it didn't seem dark to them as the camera sensitive to light may be lower that their eyes.

@@JPayne-ul4qd I wish I could keep my boy in cabin, but he's 30 lbs, so def won't be able to fit. :(
Take vacations where you drive to your destination and take the dog with you. I mean after all ...
And if the dog cannot stand or sit in such a bag, but the weight is ok. Will they let her into the salon?@@JPayne-ul4qd
I'm thinking: it would be a great idea to put a battery light led inside the cage with a soft warm light
They will not allow for this.
Great idea!

In this era, there is so many options. Dogs can wear those muzzels i think its Called, and be in the cabin with us for an extra seat. No problems at all. All safe and No danger, nothing. And also those no pulling collar. Seriously I wish they would at least have an small area just for dogs maybe 6 seats at least for dogs to travel with their owners., small or big dogs, it doesn’t matter!
Terrifying but we are moving to Japan and my dog has to fly cargo a very, very long way. 😢
Try maybe cargo carriers. They carry animals much more humanely and not all in the dark. There is also someone who tends to them (i.e horses oftrn carried like that)
Oh gosh ! In the dark ? That's not good !
How many hours was the flight? And did you sedate tour dog? I'm thinking to travel with mine is 15 hrs. One lay over.
which airline did you use?
So there's no light once the baggage compartment door is closed? That's the same as torture.
iuno dogs like dark
The reason for the lights being out is so that it triggers their sleep cycle
@@SuperJadels Makes sense but absolute pitch black dark seems a bit much.
No it’s not the same as torture lol
@@ulusguybut it is heated.
It's so inhumane how we treat them, still. Poor creatures :( I genuinely think leaving ur dog behind while u travel for a few weeks is better for them. Yes u may not like it but that's your feelings. They would stay with a dog sitter, have a routine and be physically ok. In this scenario, they are in physical discomfort and scared while you are feeling great. The only genuine reason to do this is if ur moving permanently or adopting the animal..
You are totally right. You can just travel with your dog in the car and it will be much more comfortable for the dog, especially if it’s used to drive a car. But some people are extremely egoistic and just drag their dog on holiday and put it on a plane. Because they don’t want to pay for a sitter or they don’t want to travel to a nearby country.
@@yllia2852 or the dog is used to it, loves to join in on vacation and these people are from Sweden.. good luck driving to a warm country with a dog in the car for 20+ hours. A flight only takes 2-4 hours to Greece and it’s done. At least they don’t abandon their dog with a stranger.
@@TellmeIamawesome are you blind or just stupid? You can clearly see the dog is not liking it.
@@TellmeIamawesome Unless you're moving permanently, there's really no reason to fly your pet cargo. Can't part with them for a short vacation? Then let them fly in the cabin with you. If the owner can afford a flight to some place for a temporary siesta, they can surely pay an extra to keep their pet more comfortable. Otherwise, they shouldn't get a dog.
@@Arkxyz You're beyond stupid. Look up the cabin rules for European flight companies. End of discussion.
People in these comments are acting like you’ve put a human baby in a crate by itself 😅 dogs are very resilient animals. Yes, it is a stressful and confusing experience for them but if they have been properly crate trained they should feel safe and secure in there. It is also the owner’s responsibility to ensure their dog is suitable for a flight. Some dogs simply cannot handle it. This one seems very calm and docile. A good boi :) Thank you for posting this informative video so us dog owners can understand what to expect when flying with our pups! 😊
Thanks for this comment, the same people complaning would crusify me if I left my dog with a friend or at dogcare. She is family I have her tattoed on me and I would never leave her behind. This was her third time traveling to Greece. So this was her 5th flight Always direct flights. I was just curious to see if she is together with other dogs etc. She loves being in Greece , playing with my cousins 3 year old, swimming in the ocean, she jumps in herself to swim and laying in the sun with her head in the shade.
@@john13arva I also want to say I appreciate this video. Im planning to fly my dogs overseas and people keep telling me the worst horrorstories, but all I want to see is how they handle the pups at the airport and how they secure them. I dont understand how people get so angry. Of course Id fly cabin with my dog if possible but sometimes thats not possible so you have to find alternatives
and how do you suppose an owner ensures their dog is suitable for a flight?! its not like owners can do a practice flight lmfao
Thanks for the video. If I do ship my dog I will put led light in cage.
So much stress
Thank you for this very informative video but dang, I am now getting very anxious for my dogs. I will be travelling a 25 hour trip to go back home in Manila, Philippines and this is so very terrifying for me even! To be in the dark with the loud noise - I will go crazy! There must be an airline somewhere thinking of having a strictly for animals cargo with lights that never get turned off. Oh dear .... I will most definitely buy this camera! John, what kind of camera did you use? Is there one that can go from boarding to de-boarding? Oh my .... I have two huge dogs - a Dobermann and a Bloodhound, and a small mountain cur.
Hi, the camera is a simple action l camera for around 100 euros. A cheap "gopro"
My intention for putting it up was just to see how my dog reacts during takeoff and if she is together with other dogs and ofc curiosity to see how their journey is compared to ours.
But then I realized the informative part of the video and I uploaded it here in full length uncropped (just sped up) so more people could see what traveling in cargo is like for our beloved dogs.
This was just a 3 hour flight. 25 hours is a very long flight.
If you want to record for a longer time and record in the darkness during takeoff I would recommend buying a more expensive camera that maybe eveb have nightvision. Or buy just one nice actioncamera that is waterproof that you can use for underwater pictures etc.
Be aware that legally I didn't have any permit to use the camera, I traveled from one European county, some countries maybe are very strict against using cameras and filming parts of the airport that are restricted for non workers.
I would not have tried this traveling outside of Europe because I dont know the local laws and wouldn't take that risk.
Please don’t fly your dogs pay for a babysitter 😥
Thank you for the video! Which type of camera did you use?
A low budget "gopro" actioncam. Nothing special. I wish I had one with nightvision and longer batteri life.
What camera did you use? I want to do the same for my furbaby.
he needs a night light
Really really sad for them. I don't like people who have an issue and complain about pets on flights etc. They have no idea about these man made machines and sounds we out them through. Scary for them
Poor dog he stayed in dark 😢
I would just give my dog a pot brownie, because I know she would be fucking terrified
this video is so cool
I didn’t think it was bad until it went Pitch black!! Put some damn battery operated lights in there.
What is you dog cage size?
Claustrophobic experience
I’m flying from Frankfurt to Charlotte. I’m having to put my cat in the cargo hold. I booked my ticket with a cat in-cabin, got to check in and was told that is impossible because they don’t allow pets in cabin AT ALL on international flights. American Airlines is the worst!!!
No light? Thanks, for letting me know. Never will I do that to my dog....wow.
The reason for the lights being out is so that it triggers their sleep cycle
Thank you very, very much for this video! It is clear to me that this doesn't seem to be a good enough option. Stockholm-Athens is a very short flight, can you imagine intercontinental flights? Dogs will have to poopoo in their crate!
Isn't it strange that no-one said anything to the dog? How jaded can you get?
my dogs freaked out everytime we leave them 😢
I will never put my dog on a plane. Looks terrifying 😭
Better to leave them alone at a stranger or dogcare? My dog would feel so abandoned and sad. And she loves being on vacation, swim in the ocean meet my cousins kid that's she loves and that loves her so much. 3 hours of flight or 4 weeks without her loved ones. For us it's an easy answer.
@@john13arva I have a lot of family that adore my dog and she loves them too. Easy answer for me, she stays with one of them for a short time.
I don’t want to bring my dog with me, I mean I want to, but putting them in the cargo scares me. The only reason I have to is because we’re moving to Australia
Same, I'm moving back to Malaysia from China. No cabin option...T.T
El perro esta aterrado con miedo.No es adecuado llevarlo como carga en el avión.Le puede dar una convulsion de nervios oh ataque al corazón. Muy absurdo y peligroso.
You don't show the dog travelling what's the point in that.
Lights went out.
Exactly…
It littrely nothing but black screen. because they turn of the light. I rather sleep than watching blackscreen
Pietà
Install a light in your crates people.
The money I paid for my dog to go to private boarding while I went away could have gone to having her own seat on the plane. I could fit her into a "large crate on top of the airline seat with a foot stand under it. I refuse to put my dog through the kind of traumatic stress the airlines currently provide for large dog travel. Yes, there are people that are not willing or can't afford to pay for the extra seat, but there are also some people that "will" if they "can" afford it. I will NEVER put my dog in the current travel option unless I would be allow to lay in the crate with her for the whole fight as well. YUP! I would do that if it meant keeping my dog relaxed and less stressed.
Awwwwwww I can’t put my baby under the plane😢
they are actually in a completely separate part of the plane, they are not with luggage and it is temperature controlled the same as what you experience in flight
@@SuperJadels ok that makes me feel better. Thank you
Poor baby
It’s great to see your dog is so calm during the experience. I was the same when I flew in the hold too. I’ve flown in cabin a few times too and often I was more stressed in the cabin because I was enclosed in a much smaller bag and I could see my humans but wasn’t allowed out to them so was quite stressful. So going in the hold can sometimes be a better option!
This dog is not calm. Did you hear him growl? At 7.59.Also observe the ears, they couldn't be further back. His mouth is closed and tense. That's one anxious dog.
Are you speaking as a dog? Mental illness is a real condition, and treatment should be sought as soon as possible.
what the actual fk??!!
pathetic comment.
@@AW-rl7qyCome on, even us people get anxious. That's undesirable, but perfectly normal.
The dog was stressed the entire duration, notice growling, ears back. I imagine heart attacks are a common cause of death during travel in cargo.
complete darkness? no no no o noooooo no ah ah not for my dog, i will do everything for my small dog to travel with me on cabin.
What camera did you use to record?
One 100€ "gopro" action cam I taped in the back of the cage
@@john13arva is it legal to put a hidden camera? Because im rlly anxious to bring my dog for international flight :(
i really dont understand why they fly them in the dark. surely there are better ways of transporting the dog
Oh my goodness. How backwards far out at least a better flight system is needed. Scary.
Non of you have ever been military and had to move your pets with you. Better than them being rehomed, get a life
You're right, people would say military people shouldn't deserve pets if they keep rehoming them after having to move.
Most of the time people taking animals abroad is to move with them and it's a terrifyingly risky experience. no one wants their pet to die on the journey.
did the dog change to airplane mode or why did it stop? :/
When the cargodoor closed it was completely dark (for camera atleast) you couldn't see anything
@@john13arva where in the airport were you able to get your dog back? I'm assuming they do not come out on the conveyor belt with the other luggage
@@hihellohihey hey, you get your dog back at special baggage, you just wait there and they open door and leave your dog. Usually you get pet back first rheb rest bags come on the belt.
nightmare 😕
omg. nooo
Imagine how scary takeoff and landing are completely in the dark right under the plane!! Horrifying! Especially if the dog is sleeping when the plane lands! This should be called “how to scar your dog for life tutorial” so many dogs have been ruined behaviorally or outright died from this, I also don’t think the underbelly of the plane is temp controlled, so it gets very hot, if they don’t die of overheating it’s either they get lost or abused by people who load them up and treat them like luggage, if none of those things you’re lucky and now have a dog with fear aggression issues or worse, my fist dog became extra fear aggressive after we had to do this when we moved, with that being said though, training and leadership will get your dog back to normal but it may take a VERY long time to get the dog over the trauma created by this,
Why is there a McDonald's cup?? 😂
I forgot her water cup in the checked in luggage, so the McDonald's cup so she could drink during the flight.
Do you have to seek permission to fit a camera to the carrier?
Probably, I didn't. But I risked it because I was traveling from an EU to another EU country. And staff did see and even waved to the camera so I don't think they had a problem with it and didn't complain about it. My reasoning is that it is a public place and I don't need permission to film and upload a video filmed in public. They had ex rayed the crate just before the video starts so it didn't film any security control and it didn't show anything in the backround that I consider to be illegal to film/upload.
I would not have done it if I was traveling outside of Europe, because there I know even less about locals laws.
@@john13arva Thanks for that, interesting. We’re thinking of migrating with our kitty from the UK to Australia and wondered if we may be able to do similar, but honestly I think I’d rather not know and hope she just wasn’t stressed to hell. The quarantine in Aus would almost certainly have an issue with it anyway.
The pet is certain burden. I don't think when you have pet (like dog), you can travel by plane with him.
Did anyone get what airline this was?
I heard Alaska isn't bad. I'm moving & I think a 2.5 hour flight is better than an 19 hour drive. Just my 2cents.
We flew Alaska from CA to Hawaii and we were very nervous since we have a anxious dog who is scared of loud noises. by the time you have to check in he was in the crate 9-10 hrs. He seemed totally fine and calm, we were happily surprised.
