I pay the fee required by the airline, (once $900 RT) and he is behaved, stays in his carrier and pretty much sleeps the entire trip. He can hold his potty for close to eight hours with out any issue and at times at home lasts close to ten hours. However, he is getting older at close to twelve years in May and he is starting to have accidents, so I don't plan on bringing him on any more trips.
You're a responsible pet owner. Many are not. If I may ask, you plan to leave him at home now. Why travel with him before? Why not leave him at home?
