If a seriously Non RV topic is bothersome to you, please select the "back key" NOW!
I noticed a thread in the classified section for a pair of "Mutt Muffs". While I am sure that some find the prospect of bringing the family pooch along on a trip is somewhat laughable, there are many of us that are just that over the top about our cannine companion(s). It is really not that outlandish, as those who saw Art Scholl fly, will no doubt remember his aerobatic pooch "Aileron". Julie Clark lives near my home aerodrome,and it is not uncommon to see her arrive in a T-28 with a big bark,and her faithful terrier(?) with a not so big bark. Julie's dog was actually sporting "Mutt Muffs"the last time she stopped in. So the question is; what precautions or considerations do people use when flying with their dog?
My wife and I have a Westhighland Terrier, who has been on quite a few aeronautical adventures with us. We discussed this with our vet prior to introducing him to flying and were assured that he would suffer no long lasting effects from flying. Our major concern was his exposure to the noise. We considered Mutt Muffs, but found the using the standard roll up foam ear plugs worked quite well.
Anyway, I wanted to hear from others who may have suggestions for traveling with a dog.
