Hello there! It sounds like you're about to take your 8-week-old pet on a flying adventure. Traveling with a young animal can be a bit of a challenge, but with a few tips, it can be smooth sailing (or flying) for both of you!
First, make sure your flying companion is comfortable in their travel carrier. It’s a good idea to introduce them to it well ahead of your travel date. Line it with a cozy blanket or a piece of clothing with your scent to make them feel secure.
Keep them hydrated before the flight, but try to avoid a large meal right before traveling, as it might upset their stomach due to the motion. Bring some familiar toys to keep them occupied and comforted during the journey.
During the flight, keep an eye on them for signs of stress, like excessive panting or vocalizing. Taking them out for a quick break, if allowed, before boarding and after landing can help them relieve any stress.
Please watch for any signs like vomiting, diarrhea, or extreme lethargy, which could indicate something more serious. In such cases, consulting a vet immediately is important.
Feel free to schedule a video consult with one of our vets at Dial A Vet to discuss any specific concerns you might have before the trip. Safe travels to you both!

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
