The 6 Must Haves for Flying with your Pup
1. Documents for your pup. Make sure to check with your specific airline for the exact documents you need but most common is a Veterinary Health Document or Official Immunization record. This document needs to be signed/dated by your vet within 10 days of your travel date.
2. Airline approved dog carrier - Here are some we have tried:
3. Poo Bags
4. Eye Ointment (this is one of our best tips) Eye ointment keeps your dog's eyes moisturized, which protects them from ulcers. ** Pro Tip: Keeping your dog's eyes moisturized before sleep prevents discoloration of the eye and keeps the whites of their eyes WHITE and healthy. Here is the one we use:
5. Treats - This is one of our new FAVES!
6. Chew Toy - We love bene bones and haven't met a dog that isn't obsessed.

Do you use the eye ointment every night before your Frenchie goes to bed? Or just for travel? Also do you have any tips to rid tear stains, I have a cream Frenchie and at 6months old he already has such dark bad tear stains and I don’t know how to clean it up and prevent them.
Thank you!!!
