We would like to fly our dog out to CA; it was mentioned to us that he could fly with us if he was a service dog or a dog in training. Do you know anything about this?

Hi Bill and Kathy,

IF your dog is actually a service dog or in training as a service dog they can fly in the cabin with the handler or trainer. I know people who are not training their dogs to be service dogs that try to do this dishonestly, and in my opinion it does a great injustice to the real service dog and legitimate dog trainers that are out there. Typically you need some type of credentials for the dog, or need to be a trainer who is proofing the dog on air travel.

So unless your dog is a service dog, then he will have to fly in a kennel in the cargo hold unless he is small enough to fit in a carrier under the seat in front of you.

Does this answer your question?
