Just wondering if anyone else has any experience flying with their dogs?? Tips, tricks, things to watch out for etc.?? I'm thinking we give her a bit of a depressant to calm her down if anything at all.
If you really want your dog with you, I'd recommend driving instead of flying. Less separation anxiety. If you are definitely going to fly, and definitely bringing the dog, I'll second the "drugs" recommendation - talk to your vet.
