Remember to feed your pet dog or cat no more than six hours before the flight. Flying on a full stomach is not recommended; feed your pet a little less than usual on the day of the flight. A water bowl will be attached to the crate door and filled before the flight and during transit stopovers.
Should I give my dog water before a flight?
You should provide fresh water until flight time. Water should be available in the carrier during the flight whenever possible. Give your dog fresh water as soon as you arrive at your destination.
