Answer 1

Go to Delta and Contenintal airlines website. They have alot of info on them..............

You will need the dog microchipped , all shots ( vaccinations ) current. Need a health cert from the vet within 30 days of flight and a letter stating the dog is OK to fly within 10 days of flight.

Have to arrive 4 hours early and have adequate cage.

They also have heat restrictions and if the weather gets too hot they will not fly them.

E mail me if you have further questions.

You also will have some stuff to do to get him thru customs and immigration in Mexico so dont think you just pick him up like baggage. He will be in a holding area at the airport and you have to do paperwork and have various people inspect the dog and paperwork to clear thier requirements.

Its not impossible and your dog is a member of the family

so its worth the work.

Answer 2

See the site below.  You will need to take the dog to a local vwt very shortly beore the trip and get his shots updated and get the international heath record.  Whatever airline you chose to use  you need to call them and ask their policy.  Dogs under a certain size may ride in a carrier under the seat in the cabin.  Bigger dogs must ride in cargo.
