HELP!..."Leaving on a jet plane" to the Florida Keys and all the airlines I've contacted say that my 10lb. toy poodle(in her carrier) needs to be able to fit under the seat and be able to "stand up and turn around" inside the carrier. All the height measurements I've gotten for approved in cabin use are shorter than my dog! (The tallest measurement is 10" and my dog is
14 1/2" tall from the floor to the top of her head!) She will be sedated for the flight so she will probably be lying down inside her carrier. Do the airlines check to see if your dog can "stand up and turn around"? What do I do?!!!

HI I'm 12 years old and My family is thinking about adopting a puppy ( west highland white terrier) they usually grow to about 11 in. and I have the same problem. WE have family in Brazil and India and we don't know what to do with the dog when we travel on a plane. I THINK I can take it with me in the cabin but I'm not sure~! HELP!!!
