Great video my westie would never pass the test he weights 11.5-12 kg he’s big for a Westie. He’s 13 and a diabetic since he was 8. I give him insulin shots 2 X day. We also went blind within 6 months of getting diabetes diagnosis but we paid a vet eye surgeon to have them removed. He sees perfectly! I had to laugh at the part about Samie not eating his kibble unless there was home cooked food on it…must be a Westie trait. My Winston is on Prescription food. Very important he eats his meals with diabetes but I also have to Watch what I give him.

Yes, Westie males are normally heavier than Sami is. I guess he is on the small side 😅 Oh, I am sorry about the diabetes, but I am glad Winston has such a good mom to take care of him ❤

2 days ago I traveled with my yorkie from Mexico City to Amsterdam . I was a bit nervous Becuase my dog is almost 7kg and similar size as yours . For some reason at the check in counter the man didn’t even looked at my dog inside the bag , weighted the kennel or measure it 🙄. I believe any flight attendant even noticed I had a dog with me . Thanks a lot for your tips ! I also gave my yorkie a short hair cut so he wouldn’t look fluffier 😅

Just found your videos and very informative and detailed to the last thing only an owner would think about I have owned Westies before but now have a dashound which I rescued at 12 months old now 7yrd old I’m British but have lived in Florida caring for my mother last 8 years but she recently passed away and now planning to return to England In October flying from Miami to Paris then train or car to England as flying directly to England all dogs need to be in cargo. Air France in cabin allowed Margot my dog is similar weight to Sami and I’m so nervous never flown with her before and the size of carrier the airline requires seems small in height . So confusing on line whether they should be able to stand or not and where to measure your dog Your videos have reassured me a little now I’m going to look for a soft carrier. Thank you have subscribed Valerie

Hi Valerie, I know that flying in and out of the UK doesn't allow dogs in the cabin. That sounds like a good solution (I know ferries are also an option, Remy on Instagram has a lot of info about traveling to the UK, you can check it out: instagram.com/stories/highlights/17904600806428962/). I'm so happy my video helped! I wish you good luck on your flight! Let me know if you have any questions! 😊

You recommend that at the time of check-in. Does the dog stay out of his kennel? I have a 4-month-old puppy and he is like yours. I travel through AA , can turn around but not stand
@knowledgesharing1293 Жыл бұрын
I'm in the same situation as you. My dog weighs 7.5 kg and her bag weighs 1 kg. I removed the bottom of the bag. The weight of the carrier has been reduced to 0.8 kg which together with the dog is still over 8 kg. We will be flying in 2 days. I expect we will be lucky and the staff will compromise with our dog.

I'm sure it will all be ok, I think the paperwork is the trickiest part, so as long as you are prepared with everything they say is needed, it'll be good! ☺ Sami will have his first intercontinental flight next year so I'm also a bit nervous and have some paperwork to prepare. Good luck!!

It’s so nerve wracking whether they will weigh or not even when you know they are within the limit! Try Vueling next time, they allow up to 10kg so Sami would have no problems at all, they even let my fat butt on 😂

Hi! Does Sami fit in the carrier when it's closed? Some airlines require that the dog can stand up in it? Thanks!
@WestieVibes Жыл бұрын
Hi, sorry for the delayed response! 🙈 He fits, but when he stands up his head is down, because he is too tall for the bag (this was the maximum size bag I could find). So if they ever ask to see him stand, they wouldn't be happy. He can turn around, though. Also, when doing the check in, I don't keep Sami in the bag and they never ask to see him inside the bag, so nobody can tell.

@claremcnamara1143 Жыл бұрын
Can I ask which airline you flew with? I flew with my 1.6kg chihuahua at Christmas. I flew one way with KLM & the return with Swiss. Neither airline permitted me to open the top of the carrier so my tiny dog was never able to put her head out of the bag at any time during the flight😢
@WestieVibes Жыл бұрын
Sorry that they didn't let her out at all, especially considering how small she is. That sucks. I flew with Aegean so far, but we will fly with Delta next month and see how it is. So far, I always opened both the top and the front of the bag and as you could see, Sami laid on the floor during the flight 😅 I honestly never asked for permission beforehand and even though the staff saw, none ever said anything. Sami also helped by not making a sound, he didn't bother anyone, so it was a win-win ☺

Hello Miruna: I love your channel and I love Sami (actually he was the one who make me decide I wanted a Westie and my Trasto, 9 months old, looks just like him). I would like to know what was Sami’s weight when you when to Greece. We’re travelling to Marbella from París next February. Right know Trasto is almos 7 kgs. The veterinarian doesn’t thinks he’s gonna grew much although he will probably get corpulence. Thank you
@WestieVibes Жыл бұрын
Hello Amelia, wow, that is absolutely amazing ❤ It makes me happy to hear! Sami was also almost around 7 kg or less when he was Trasto's age (first time we flew with him he was 7 months old). In this video I think he weighed 7.5 kg, which is his usual flying weight haha (normally he weighs 7.80 kg but we diet a little before flights and restrict water intake 2-3 hours before checking in). I wish you good luck on Trasto's first flight! (we are traveling to Paris soon!) 😍

Comment, I worked at a senior level in a major airline, as the customer, you could demand to see the captain, as the responsibility for the aircraft and contents is HIS sole responsibly, NOT some irascible crew member. It is his decision to allow you to fly.

Noo 😂I see how it could look that way. No, she cleaned the plaque off his teeth. She does it 2-3 times per year, using that tool, it's quick and painless and because Sami is so calm, there is no need to put him under for the procedure (like most vets do when teeth cleaning) 😁
