Dangerous To Fly Dogs Anywhere?

Contillo, according to the complaint, informed the flight attendant that he was reluctant to move as it would cause his dogs to become "very anxious," potentially leading to "extremely dangerous" respiratory and cardiac issues. Despite his pleas, the complaint alleges that staff disregarded his concerns and relocated both father and son to seats that provided even less breathing space for the dogs. The bereaved owner recounts in the lawsuit that Ash, the dog who passed away, began to breathe rapidly and heavily, showing clear signs of anxiety. This distress occurred just before take-off when Contillo was instructed to close the dog's carrier. During the flight, Contillo noticed that Ash had ceased moving but was required to wait until the plane reached a certain altitude before he could check on his pet

My Opinion: Commercial plane crews and companies don’t care about your dog like you do. They are not sufficiently qualified, and you risk the life of your dogs whenever you fly them, whether in cargo, economy, or first class. Commercial planes are not designed to accommodate pets. Plan accordingly.
