The Dog as a Frequent Flier
For the next couple of years or so it looks like we shall be spending about 6 months a year in Canada and 6 months in the UK.
We would love our dog to be with us (she has an EU pet passport & the rabies injections already as we travelled in Europe in the car & ferry with her) but I wonder how practical this is.
The costs of taking her to Canada are another thing!
Has anyone on here ever done this? Can you buy a dog cage and then re-use it for each trip? How stressful is the travelling for the dog, normally she's pretty laid back and sleeps in the car?

Re: The Dog as a Frequent Flier
This is just to answer dog crate we shipped 3 dogs over from the UK and 2 crates where built for the dogs and the smallest dog was able to get away with a plastic crate and all are reusable so I doubt you will have any major problems. A lot will depend on size of dog and crate and if you make your own (to requirements) on how well it is made
