Many pet owners are afraid their pet will be too stressed to travel and want to offer relief by giving them a sedative. The short answer is DON'T DO IT.
The longer answer is that the sedative vets give to pets is almost always "acepromezine" or ACE for short. While this is an excellent and safe drug on the ground, it is dangerous for pets who will be flying as it restricts the respiratory functions. It also effects the pets natural balance and equilibrium. The American Veterinary Association recommends that ACE not be used for flying pets as does Animal Land Pet Movers.
The good news is there are many things which can be done to prevent anxiety. First, acclimate your pet to his travel kennel (click HERE for post).
