Best solution for flying with a big dog?
Living in Sweden, but with family in The Netherlands and Finland, we (me & my partner) will be traveling much back and forth. We have done this so far by planes.
We are both crazy about dogs and would like to get one soon. We have read that dogs over 8kg can't be in the cabin but go in the luggage/storage part. To me this sounds rather horrible for a dog (even if the temperature is the same).
What are your experiences with flying with a dog. Specially when you have a medium/big dog I wonder how people solve it. Do you take the dog in the plane or do you leave it home? Don't dogs get a trauma from flying? Is going by car/train/bus better?
