[quote=Anonymous]I've moved back and forth from the Middle East to DC with my dog twice, including flights in Jul/August. It did make me worry, but we had no trouble. Most US airports, like Dulles, have regulations preventing pet flights when it's too hot. (Yes, I know animals CAN die, but the vast majority do not.)

OP - I suggest you check with the Embassy of Denmark to confirm you have completed all the requirements and bring the right paperwork, get your dog accustomed to the crate, which you should line with shredded newspaper or packing paper, not a towel which arrives wet and stinky, be sure you have a water bowl, which you can fill and freeze to up the chances she has some en route. Also call the airline repeatedly to confirm and reconfirm your dog's reservation - I've had unexpected problems arise that have been id'ed by repeatedly confirming.

I put an extra collar and leash in a ziplock on top of the crate, and carried one with me, also a small bottle of water, so cargo crew can open in right up and pour your dog some on arrival. Finally, I put a laminated photo of my dog and his booking info on top of the crate as well.

There's lot of useful info on the web about moving internationally with pets. You could also use a company like Club Pet in VA that can help you with all the paperwork, for a fee. I have been impressed, particularly when connecting in Europe, to see how carefully the airport staff watch over animals.

Good luck! It can be done! :)[/quote]
