Looks like Rose and I will be flying sometime in the next few months to meet her sister and her "Aunt". However, I will be flying by myself (for the the first time) and also flying with a pet for the first time! We will most likely be flying Southwest Airlines, nonstop. I will need to take her crate, her bed, her bowls, some emergency oops "doggy bags", some treats (for ear popping), some baby wipes (again, for oopses), a couple of toys, her food, and electronic wireless collar and units. I was thinking I would pack her crate with her stuff and put it in checked baggage, but I wasn't sure if I wouldn't be better off shipping everything ahead of time but her crate, food and bed. In a pinch, her sister eats the same dry food, so if it didn't get there, it would be okay.
I also need (I know I've asked before, but it was a while back, sorry!) to know what bag you used if you have flown Southwest. I'm hoping to borrow a bag, but if I have to, I'll buy one. Any tips for keeping her happy and quiet during the flight would be appreciated too, along with anything that you think I should know that I have no clue about, lol. I'm going to ask her vet, and at the least I think I will give her an allergy pill before we leave (zzzzzz). I'm excited but also very nervous, and any nervousness I can get rid of beforehand so Rose isn't wound up anymore than normal would be for the better! She does travel well in the car, if that factors in to any of this...
