Also keep in mind when you fly and call ahead so they know you are checking a live animal, they usually only have space in cargo for 2 on a plane. If its summer they won't let you fly with animals usually and when you board the plane remind the folks at the ticket counter you have a dog in cargo so they put the heating/cooling on in the cargo hold and don't buy the cheapest airline, get a good reputable one.
