Flying overseas on holiday and Service Dogs

[ichigo]

Hi I haven't posted in this forum for ages, but you guys always have the anwers to the questions I can't find any information on.

I would like to find out if anyone knows the procedure and what one needs to do to fly with their service dog in the cabin out of the country. I am planning to fly to Israel through Elal and will be flying from Durban to Johannesburg first with either Mango or Kulula depending on who's cheaper and is more accommodating. Would be helpful if someone has already flown locally with a service dog and/or out of the country and knows the airport facilities.

I've attached pictures of my service dog Lucy

Thanks again

She is a legend, but what does this service dog do ?

Helps with Autism, Anxiety, Fibromyalgia and Narcolepsy. She keeps me awake and calm and helps me walk if I am sore and tired, reason for the handle.

Serious question: How do you deal with the dogs waste on a flight? Does it eject wherever it wants and you clean it up, or are they trained to a degree that they'll only **** in the margarine tub you carry with you?

If you train them well and don't feed them much or give them too much water they can go 10+ hours without needing the toilet. I've already been to a 2 day conference and she barely needed the toilet with the amount of water/food she had.

So a pet?

Aye, she's a beauty I found pretty much what Daisy just posted above, seems they're all the same'ish, all about letting them know and having the documents to 'prove it'. Good luck with the process, hopefully it's smooth as and you can just get to your holiday.

Thanks helps quite a lot so I need to get a letter from health person and a vet permit, what I wanted to know. Just need to make sure her rabies injections are up to date.

Did you end up being able to fly with Lucy? Trying to arrange similar for my service cat.
