6-Taking Dogs on Airplanes
Try not to give your dog sedative or narcotic drugs shortly before the travel trip for the purpose of calming him down, especially if he is going to travel inside a box in the cargo store inside the plane, because sedative or narcotic drugs hinder the ability of the animal’s body to adapt to the change in the temperature around it, if you feel afraid that your pet will feel anxious and stressed while in the cargo store you can use a sedative collar of a special type bearing the name DAP collar Triggering soothing pheromones, DAP is an abbreviation for Dog Appeasing Pheromones, which reduces the dog’s feeling of stress and calms it down without numbing it.
