Yes, we bought the XL size for our cats. They are expensive, but totally worth it.
Depends on the height/length of your dog too, but some possible options are:
If she's anxious in the car, she might be anxious in the train too though—so maybe start with an even smaller trip to get her used to it.
Leave the carrier out. We’ve always made it a the car carrier is just for transporting, particularly if it’s only one person available. Doesn’t just mean they’re going to the vet. Usually means they’re going to petco or something lol. They’ll happily get in and settle and watch curiously as I get ready.
We currently use this but we’ve used this when they were younger. The winner of their mini brawls was the one who got to be in the bag. The second one was a lot more fun for them to play in/around though (but it’s a lot smaller).
Hi! I can help. I just brought by 28lb dog in the cabin from the U.S. to the U.K. (albeit, a completely different beast than UK > US) and did an exhausting amount of research leading up to it (original plan was to fly to Paris). I have also flown with her in the cabin within the U.S. on several long-ish trips.
Delta has no weight limit. They are the only airline I fly. Here's how I do it: My dog's carrier is a XL SturdiBag. I cut 2 inches off the baseboard to help it fit under the seat in a pinch. The height of the carrier is technically too big for most underseat areas but the top of the carrier flexes down to fit underneath the seat and, while I've had employees question me, I've demonstrated this feature and it has always satisfied them. There is a top "door" that I open and let my dog's head poke out. No one has every said a thing. Definitely book a seat in the larger section. This carrier fits pretty well under the first class cabin seats in the Delta A320 & 737 (these were domestic, however...Delta will no longer allow pets in business class going transatlantic. "Economy plus" will work fine though.).
To prepare the pup, I don't feed her before the flight. If it's a morning flight, she doesn't get breakfast. If it's a night flight, I feed her breakfast but not dinner. I take her water away a few hours before we leave and give her ice cubes and small amounts of water in flight. I do give her a vet-prescribed medication that reduces anxiety and is approved for air travel.
The other option, depending on your location, is the Queen Mary II from Southampton to New York. They have lovely pet kennels and the crossing takes 5 days. They do book up far out in advance but there are sometimes cancellations. I recommend ringing and asking if you are interested.
Please let me know if you have any questions. My dog has issues with cages but travels just fine in the cabin. I handled all her paperwork myself.
