I have personally piloted aircraft carrying large and small breed dogs, cats, and other creatures (including 750 lbs of rattle snakes) in the cargo holds all over the nation with a 100% survival rate.

the dog should be ok

With the proper precautions, the pet should be ok in cargo. The problems are usually not in the aircraft, but on the ground.

When she talked to America Airlines, and Delta Airlines, they both said that the dog is at risk in the cargo holds. Mind you the average temperature for Miami right now is in the low 90's. She's probably coming in July when it'll be 95ish.

Spike her cheapest and safest option might be just to rent a car and drive herself and the dog down to Florida.

Boulder to Miami would be a pretty cool road trip...

Thats just as bad as the 2,000 petmover wants to charge.


@August, I was thinking of that, but was unsure if a rental company would let her rent a car.
