First -my total agreement - NEVER ship your animals. USAir stopped taking pets in cargo -why? because when they merged with America West they took on hubs in Phoenix and Vegas, They heat outdoors could be over 100 degrees F - think of how hot it could get in the storage area and then hoe cold it can get at 30,000 feet.
We tranquilized our cats for the 15 hour ride from Conn to Myrtle Beach and then for the 10 hour ride from MB to TV. We also tranqed Claudie on her way home from ST. Maarten.
Our little dog is also way under the weight limit, but tall. We plan to take him to Maine this summer on a plane and will tranquilize him as well. He is great in the car, but he wants to see what is going on and will be unhappy in the carrier we purchased from JetBlue.
