As I’ve said before, it’s easy to travel with a small pet dog (say, under 10 lbs.), and it’s pretty easy to travel with a pet Chloe’s size (she has variously weighed 13-16 lbs., and stands 12″ tall at the shoulder).… Read the rest
As you know from previous posts, the Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) has multiple pet relief areas.
