healthypets.mercola.com/sites/healthypets/archive/2021/02/19/airlines-banning-emotional-support-animals.aspxStory at-a-glance In December 2020, the U.S. Department of Transportation announced that emotional support animals would no longer be considered service animals when it comes to traveling by air The rule paved the way for airlines, including American Airlines, Alaska Airlines and Southwest, to essentially ban emotional support animals from planes While service dogs, which are highly trained, will still be allowed in aircraft cabins, emotional support animals will only be allowed to fly as pets To travel by air with a pet there is an extra charge and the animal has to be stowed in a carrier under the seat or in the plane’s cargo hold — something I don’t recommend unless absolutely necessary My notes: Anybody have or had one? I never had one officially. But both my dogs were there for me when I needed them & helped me overcome a lot.

Does anybody have any others that works for them? Bob ellielo Emerald lainee lammchen lifespot safeinsanity @shaliza stluee topsilver twistedpingu

Bob ellielo Emerald lainee lammchen lifespot safeinsanity @shaliza stluee topsilver twistedpingu In summertime it is also important to know that your dog will be comfortable and cool in the car. It can get hot and stressful for them. Air conditioning is a must for a pet traveling in a vehicle during hot summer days.
