My bone to pick was with the idea that putting your pet in cargo was cruel. It might be disconcerting, but it was probably less cruel than dumping my pets with someone else for a couple years or forever.
My dogs made the trip fine on both ends .

Based on just a few things I've seen in my career I would *NEVER* ship a pet on an airline.
That being said, the longest move I've ever made with pets was just recently moving our cats 25 miles by car, so Idk what I'd do if we had to move them cross country.

*in all seriousness.....if you put your animals on the same level as people, then you drive....even if it’s cross country. It’s a minor inconvenience.
