Wow, First flight and he is so good! He is such a good pup with such a loving mom. Must have been a big relief to see him react so calmly. Thank you for the video.
Thank you for your comment 🥰 it was a huge relief - but since we’ve travelled a lot by car / train before I expected him to be this calm - otherwise I wouldn’t have put him through it 😊
I love his confidence, good job mama.
Yay a travel video ! Travel videos are so much fun. Nello was such a good boy!
He was 🤍 so proud of him!
Thank for making your wonderful videos! they’re the reason I have an Iggy of my own!
I am so glad you two are doing well. Don't wait so long for updates. We live vicariously through you and Nello. Love you guys.
Thank you so much for your comment. We will try to post more regularly 🤍
Congratulations. He was really knowing the way at the airport.super behavior. Treats. Muah 💋
Bravo Nello👍👍❤️❤️
Good Job Nello hope you enjoyed your time with your Iggy friends!
Thank you! Oh it was amazing 🌊🌊🌊☀️
Awesome video! I wanna get an Italian greyhound like that so I’ve been looking at videos and got lucky to find yours. Would you mind linking the website where you got that travel bag? Looks great
Nello is pure sweetness. What a gorgeous boy. I have an Italian greyhound mix. I love greyhounds 🥰🐾
Thank you so much 🥰
I love the relationship between you and Nello. You're both so connected. Please do a vlog of what you feed including treats. I would be most grateful. I would love to know who you bought him from. I want a Nello! Thank you!
Your videos are super useful!! We are starting to get prepared to welcome an iggy pup at the end of the month and traveling with the dog will be one of our biggest goals. So this was ver useful. Also, where did you get your travel bag? It’s perfect!!
Oh lovely boy he was so good ❤
He was 🤍🤍🤍🙏🏻
Little angel 💙✈️
He is ❤
Amazing, where did you get the bag from?
I would love to know as well!
Me too 😊
Same here, what is this bag?? I fly with my dog quite often, and our old bag is due for renewal.. this one looks quite practical and good. Where did you get this???
Me too
Nello is soo adorable cute - Where did you buy the transport bag?
Great video! Delighted to see Nello was comfortable flying with Lufthansa. Looking to fly with my own Italian Greyhound Rufus in future. He is a biggie however so slightly worried he's a little too tall for the cabin. How tall is Nello do you mind me asking? We may just try and buy a similar carrier to yoi and see if our guy fits haha
Amazing video. Can you give me some information about how you added your dog when purchasing the tickets? I can't find any place to add the pet to the ticket!!!
I love this bag. Where did you find it? Nello did so good 😍
Loved your video... that bag is AWESOME! Definitely will ckout flying on Lufthansa ❤ how big is Nello? Noël is 18lbs, but she loves to curl up into a little ball!
What a quiet doggie
Amazing video😍I was trying to find info about a bag on insta but I couldn’t find it. Could you share where we can get that kinda bag? 😃😃
I have an Italian Greyhound named Sputnik! Thanks for this video! And all your videos! Hope to fly with Sputnik one day❤
Well Sputnik must fly! What a cute name 🥰🥰🥰
@@thelifeofnellodid Nello ever try to get out of his bag during the flight? I see you have a lot of people asking where you got the bag. I have one similar that I had sent from Germany to the US. Love the bag, but it isn’t mass produced, so it wasn’t easy to get, and I had to have a friend ship it, since the maker didn’t want to deal with the pain to ship it to the US.
Does Nello have a Facebook page?
Nello is adorable! I love Italian Greyhound. I would love to get one some day. I have two dogs already (Russian Toy Terrier breed) so I can’t get more dog at the moment! Enjoying your videos ❤
Thank you for your comment 🥰
Well done NELLO, my two iggies did fly from Sydney to Abu Dhabi in cabin with me and they have been absolutely amazing…
Wow with two? Were they allowed in one bag? 😮
@@thelifeofnello we had to buy two full price seat and each Iggy in her own crate :) - this was the third time flying long distance, the first and second time (Sydney-Geneva-sydney) was always in cargo and when back to Sydney (3years later) they had to do 10 days quarantine- now that we moved from Sydney to Dubai for work (indefinitely) we wanted them to fly cabin… Etihad gave us the chance, it was almost $8k overall but all worth it!!
@@alessandrotimpano8737 oh wow. Seems like our trip from Munich to Lisbon was a bargain then 😅
Nello was so good! He reminded me of my previous little Iggy girl. She was so quiet and still that people sitting next to me often had no idea I had a dog with me until I stood up at the end of the flight and pulled her carrier out from under the seat. I miss those days. My new dog is too big (16 lbs) to fly in the cabin so I don't fly any more. By the way, may I ask where you got Nello's carrier? I've never seen a design quite like that and I really like it. It looks soft and plush on the inside, perfect for Italian Greyhounds' comfort.
Very interesting, thank you for sharing :)
Thank you for watching 🤗
Love the video, thank you for sharing your experience. May I ask how heavy your dog was at the time? I am going to welcome a frenchy puppy soon and as far as I understand I can only travel with him, until he gets 8kg 😢
hes so so cute!! i have two iggies of my own but they absolutely would NOT tolerate a plane lol
Please tell where you got your bicycle crate for Nello. I need one. Thank you for your vlog. It is very special like you and Nello!
Nello handles flying better than some people can.😊
That’s so true! He was really helping me as well 😂😅
Nello! We've missed you!❤❤❤
Awww so sweet 🥰
What a good doggo! I think the plane's vibrations actually calm them or something. I took my cat from Albany, New York to Denver, Colorado and I was nervous because everyone said give her a sedative and I didn't because she did not like that sort of thing and I figured she'd be more traumatized forcing that on her than by the flight. I was right. She just curled right up and went to sleep, slept the whole way.
Maybe you are right! Also all the waiting before boarding the plane was probably very boring, too.
I would never give him a sedative for a flight! You never know how they react to it and it may only make everything worse 🤷🏻♀️ but I don’t know anything about cats. I‘m assuming for them it may be very different because they are not used to follow you everywhere you go like a dog right?
@@thelifeofnello She was different. I walked her on a leash. Exactly. On top of forcing her, I'd worry about side affects. When medicine is necessary is one thing but if it's not, why chance it?
@@BlazeDuskdreameroh wow, so she was a very dog-like cat then 😊🐾
@@thelifeofnello In a lot of ways but, unfortunately, very vicious. A handful. But worth it. Had her for 18.5 years and miss her horribly.
My life goal is to get an italian greyhound, your videos bring so much joy
So happy to hear you like our videos 🥰🙏🏻
You should they are very loyal funny quirky dogs. they just want to be with you.
Super 😍👌🏼
He is soo chilli.🥰 Will there be a holiday-vlog? I would love it. You both are a really cute couple. 🙂
Thank you so much! And we will see about the holiday vlog - good idea actually 🥰🥰🥰
Cool! What a trooper Nello is! And he has such an attentive mommy. Enjoy your trip. Is Portugal dog friendly for travelers?
Hehe thank you ❤
It‘s not as dog friendly as Germany but we didn‘t have any issues at all - even most restaurants allowed him in 🥰
hi nice video. Have you ever flown with Airbaltic?
We love nello and your videos .
Could you please make a video of giving nello a bath :)
I need more drug.. more Nello !
Viajaré para Miami desde Cuba en los próximos días y agradezco mucho pues este video me da mucha tranquilidad , mi pequeño galgo cumplirá 14 ańos en Septiembre y temía tener que llevarla en la bodega del avión pero creo no tendré objeciones. Gracias !
This is so cute! Btw is Lufthansa pretty strict with the 8kg limit? Do they actually check the weight?
Thank you for the video. What kind of bag is that?
It‘s from Chazira Bavaria 😊
The italian greyhound actually is quite big. But luckily the alllowed him in the cabin❤ is there are any esa letter needed?
I traveled with my two small dogs all the way to Saudi Arabia and they traveled with me in cabin as well. It was not too difficult, they’ve been sleeping most of the flight.
I always wondered, how do dogs fly really long distances with bathroom needs? People can use bathrooms onboard, but how do dogs do?
That‘s great! Were they both allowed in one carrier?
There is no way for dogs to go potty during the flight. Most dogs will hold it in though - just like they do at night
Danke für das Teilen dieser Erfahrung. Nello ist so so so brav!
Darf ich fragen, wo du Halsband und Leine gekauft hast?
Gute Zeit euch beiden 😘
Vielen lieben Dank! Ich war auch wirklich stolz auf ihn. Halsband und Leine sind von Hundessa 🥰
What is the brand of that pet carrier? Ty
Nello is handsome, but his owner is beautiful.
Thank you so much 😊
Hello! Where did you buy the bag?
Amazing video and that’s for sharing. One quick question. Where did you buy the bag ?
Thank you 🥰 more info on the bag is on my Instagram @thelifeofnello in the story highlights 😊
@@thelifeofnelloi will check thank you.
@@thelifeofnelloI’m sorry to bother I checked and I went to your tree link and I cannot find no info. 😥
@@TheRealAndyB. it‘s from Chazira Bavaria - it‘s linked in the story highlights 😊
Can’t find it
How big is Nello and how much does he weigh? I know IG’s vary quite a bit and maybe the larger ones would not fit in a bag of approved size? Since Nello did, I’m very interested to know his size and weight if you can share? Ty
What is the name of the bag? We are flying lufthansa soon and would love to use the same one!
Where did you buy this nice bag?
Hello Nello, thank you for this film. You are so cute and calm. Can I ask your owner. When you orderd the bag, I found the webbsite, did you order the size that Lufthansa accept 55x40x23 ? Or did you order a smaller size? How high is Nello? I have Chinese crested dog 5kg and would really like to fly with him in cabin. I just need to find a bag for him and your bag with all the net on top seems perfect.
It‘s a bit smaller than the Lufthansa measurements. Nello is 4.2 kg 😊
Thank you😊
Can you post the name of the travel bag? Many of us are asking. Thx
I have an Italian greyhound mix, so her legs are long. Her height is 16"-17" tall. And since they want you to fit the dog under the front seat..I am super Fearful, cos she doesn't fit?
Hi, where did you get that travel bag for Nello? Thanks for the video!
Just realized you had it made specially for Lufthansa, could you share more, where you had it made, etc? I have to travel with my IG Ozzy as we are moving countries in a few months.
Hi! I have Italian greyhound yet. Can I ask you, where you bought the amazing bag for Nello?
Thanks
It‘s from Chazira Bavaria 😊
Hi How did you get the bag ? And how did you manage to have Nello used to it? My Italian greyhound is really uneasy in closed bags. Also are you 100% sure being in an airplane does not damage or hurt their ears?
Thanks
We’ve travelled a lot recently, for example he‘s been on a 7h train ride a few weeks ago. We used the bag every day on car rides as well. It‘s just a lot of practice and positive reinforcement really. And I can’t be 100% sure of course but usually Nello shows me when he is not feeling well and he didn’t show an signs of discomfort at all 😊 so I’m pretty sure he wasn’t bothered by the air pressure at all 🥰
Where did you purchase that wonderful dog carrier? I can’t find it anywhere, even on the airline website. Thanks.
If your dog is taller than 23cm when standing, the bag is of no use to you. It is then forbidden!
i have sort of the same dog, i think mine is a little bigger than yours. Cant wrap my head around the 23cm height requirment but your bag looks really nice. Where did you get it?
Why is the height 23 cm? What kind of dog can fit in height in 23 cm? In Germany I found a store where bags are 55x40x23 and height 40 cm, they write that the height of the bag can be up to 40 cm.
@@anastasiadoronina4616 Apparently its a requirment for most airlines that the bag is able to fit underneath the chair in front of you. I think in practice it isnt regulated that much but still it is such a pain finding out what is and what isnt allowed. I just want my girl to come along with me on vacation without having to dump her in a cargo space for hours :(.
Would you bring your pet on a flight? 🥰
Yes, 100% would if there were no restrictions against bigger dogs. I have 11 kg and 22 kg dogs, and because I can't bring them in a cabin, I can't leave the country I'm in.
@@interstellarpieceofmeat I totally understand. I wouldn’t do it with a big dog either - cargo is a different story. Unless you are relocating and there is no other way 🤷🏻♀️
How much does Nello weigh? We have a year old Iggy that we want to travel with. Where did you buy that carrier?
Nello weighs 4.2 kg. You can find more info on the bag on our Instagram @thelifeofnello 🥰
IATA rules:
Guidance for Passengers Traveling with their Dog or Cat in the Cabin
This guidance is only intended to supplement and/or reinforce requirements in Container Requirement 1 (CR1)
of the current edition of the IATA Live Animals Regulations (LAR) and the In-Cabin Live Animal Checklist in LAR
Section 7.6.2 as it pertains to dogs and cats accompanying passengers in the cabin of aircraft. Unlessotherwise permitted (e.g. assistance and emotional support dogs), all live animals transported by air must be placed in a container as described in the current IATA LAR. It is not intended for other species of animals traveling in cabin or any species of animal traveling in other areas of the aircraft. Individual carriers may have additional or more stringent policies to some of this guidance or components of CR1, so the individual carrier(s) being used for the journey should be consulted as part of planning the journey for in cabin carriage of dogs or cats. Travelling has an unsettling effect on animals and they must be disturbed as little as possible.
Domesticated animals prefer dim light as this helps to calm them and reduce stress.
Suitability For Travel
▪ Is the dog or cat old enough to travel in cabin?
‒ Unweaned animals and animals under 8 weeks must not travel. Check with the government/country that you are traveling to from or via and the airline regulations for age policies as they may have more stringent requirements.
‒ Airlines and destination countries have requirements for proof of age upon entry. Travelers should ensure to be compliant and have the necessary documentation.
▪ Is the animal in suitable health for travel?
‒ Sick, injured, or debilitated animals may not be suitable. Be sure to have supporting documents for animals with chronic conditions, those traveling to receive medical treatment or any other exception.
‒ A health certificate is required for international travel and may be time sensitive.
▪ You must obtain the appropriate import and other travel documents for international travel of your dog or cat.
‒ Allow enough time to obtain the documents and keep copies. Travelers to note that this could take several months.
‒ Make sure to check the applicable laws / regulations for those countries your dog / cat is traveling to and connecting through for additional requirements. The airline or the country’s embassy can be a source of such information.
▪ Some airlines place travel restrictions on certain breeds of dogs or cats.
‒ Consult the airline(s) participating in the journey regarding these restrictions.
▪ Airlines may have limitations on the number of dogs or cats permitted in-cabin.
‒ This can be an issue with some smaller aircraft in which the under-seat space is extremely limited.
Contact your airline to clarify transport requirements.
▪ Sedation / tranquilization is advised against for dogs or cats traveling in cabin.
‒ There is considerable risk in sedating animals transported by air, as tranquillizers reduce the ability of the animals to respond to stress during transportation.
‒ If such drugs are administered, they must be under a veterinarian’s direction and the airline should be advised of their use.
‒ Airlines may refuse to carry an animal that is sedated / tranquilized at their discretion.
Dog and Cat Containers
IATA does not certify, approve, sell or otherwise endorse any commercial dog or cat travel / shipping container
as being compliant with standards in the Live Animals Regulations. It does provide standards for dog and cat
travel / shipping containers in Container Requirement 1. Any dog or cat container used for in- cabin carriage of
dogs or cats must comply with these standards, or it will be rejected by the airline for travel.
▪ A dog or cat, travelling in-cabin must be in an IATA compliant container that fits under the seat in front of the passenger or other place as specified by the airline.
‒ There is very limited space for animal travel containers under the aircraft passenger seats. Only very small dogs or cats and their travelling containers will fit under aircraft seats.
‒ Soft-sided containers may compress when inserted under the seat. Compression of the ventilation openings can result in reduced ventilation and heat buildup in the container leading to potential adverse consequences to the dog or cat contained therein.
▪ Is the container of suitable size and construction for the size and weight of the dog or cat traveling in-cabin?
‒ Can the dog or cat sit erect, stand erect, turn around and lie down within it in a natural position?
‒ Does the container have at least 16% of the area on its 4 vertical sides set up as ventilation openings?
‒ Is the container escape-proof?
‒ Is the container leak proof?
‒ Does the container have a “Live Animals” label affixed to it?
▪ Dogs and cats should be introduced to the travel / shipping container to be used for in-cabin carriage well before the journey so that their stress in being confined in it during the journey is minimized.
▪ Dogs or cats must not be removed from their travel containers during the flight. The travel container should not be opened during the flight.
▪ Ideally, the animal should be fed a light meal at least two hours before the flight, with a short drink and exercise immediately before crating.
▪ The traveling container must be able to contain any feces or urine produced by the dog or cat.
▪ The container must be clean and leak-proof and absorbent bedding must be provided.
▪ The passenger is responsible for the actions of their dog or cat while it is traveling in-cabin.
Where can I get that pet carrier?! I have an Iggy and want to travel with her. that carrier looks perfect! thank you ❤
Check out my story highlights on Instagram @thelifeofnello for more info on the bag 😊
Could you please share where did you buy the carrier? It would be very helpful.
Please read the IATA rules and consider whether the bag is suitable for your dog.
@@martinschmidt2683 no need. Work in the field. Know them by heart. The dog… smaller than most cats. Now, going back to my question. From where is the carrier?
@@patriciaquintela899 That is completely wrong! Since the end of 2022, the IATA rules have applied to all airlines worldwide. Even if the bag is height-adjustable, it must fit under the seat. Maximum height 23cm with Delta sometimes only 15cm. In this!!! The dog must be able to stand and lie in its natural position. It must also be able to turn in the bag without touching the bag. So if your dog is taller than approx. 19cm when standing (4cm go for the bottom, the insert material and the lid + air), the airline can A) refer to the IATA rules which are binding for all airlines worldwide since the end of 2022 or B) to its own stricter rules. In addition, the upper part is of course very airy and comfortable but certainly not bite and tear resistant and liquids can also pass through in case of doubt.
Incidentally, the bag does not have to comply with the dimensions for hand luggage. The dimensions result solely from the space available under the seat in front that you have booked, for most airlines 23cm!!!! If a sound system is installed, it can be as little as 15cm on individual seats, as is the case with Delta. At Lufthansa, for example, the hand luggage size is 55x40x23. If the lady on site had then taken the height(?) 55cm, that would have been wrong.
... and the space under the seats is usually smaller than the dimensions of the hand luggage.
Extract from the IATA rules:
- Individual carriers may have additional or more stringent policies to some of this guidance or components of CR1, so the individual carrier(s)
being used for the journey should be consulted as part of planning the journey for in cabin carriage of dogs or cats.
- A dog or cat, travelling in-cabin must be in an IATA compliant container that fits under the seat in
front of the passenger or other place as specified by the airline. There is very limited space for animal travel containers under the aircraft passenger seats.
- Can the dog or cat sit erect, stand erect, turn around and lie down within it in a natural position?
The bag must fit under the seat. With the dimensions 55x40x23, the 23cm is the height!
Small selection of dimensions:
KLM: 55 x 35 x 25
Lufthansa: 55 x 40 x 23
Air France: 55 x 35 x 25
UA: 56 x 35 x 22
Delta: 56 x 35 x 23 ATTENTION!!! At Delta the bag may only be 15 cm high!!!!
Condor: 55 x 40 x 20
British Airways: 56 x 45 x 25 (no more transportation in the cabin, you have to ask if this also applies abroad)
Please read the IATA rules.
Hello. I can't find any references for the bag in Insta. Do you think my iggy will fit in? He is 6Kg and around 40 cm at shoulder.
I think so. There are different sizes available as well 😊
@@thelifeofnello Thank can you point me in the right direction to buy the bag? ^^
@@jackmemphis3139 Did you ever find out? I love that bag too!
@@chelsiegawnemark1968 nope. Never. Let me know if you do.
Does nello shed a lot?
No not really. But some Italian Greyhounds do 😊
Interesting the cabin crew didn’t ask you to push Nello under the seat in front of you
He was under the seat most of the time, especially during takeoff and landing 😊
