How can I provide the best for my dog on the plane to Vietnam?
You can’t take her. It’s not even legal. First of all, yes, the planes put the dogs in the cargo area which a) isn’t pressurized and b) isn’t completely insulated from the plane’s exhaust. Therefore, animals in the cargo area are subjected to extreme pressure and are poisoned by the exhaust from the plane (essentially like sticking them in a garage with a car motor running… not *quite* that bad, but the same idea). Also, they’re handled as baggage, ie: not carefully. 1 out of 4 dogs traveling on an airplane is killed in transit or lost by the carelessness of the handlers. Yes, 1 out of 4… 25%. There is a 25% chance you’ll never see her (alive) again if you take her, especially on such a long trip (that number goes up the longer they’re exposed to such conditions). Also, there are laws for transporting animals. Most countries have strict quarantine laws… there’s a good chance that going into Vietnam and back to wherever you live could result in your dog being quarantined for 2 wee
