Hey everyone, Ray and I here trying to get some insight on stuff.
I live here in KC, MO and I will be moving for college to the wonderful island of Hawaii and of course I'm taking my best friend with me.
She will be around 8months old when I leave in July and I will be driving to California and then going to fly from Cali to Hawaii.

Can anyone tell me how bad it will affect her for this drastic change and could you also give me some insight if you flown with your dogs. How did you do it? Was it cargo? I feel so bad that she will be treated as "luggage" bleh how much does it cost to fly a dog out? Especially a medium sized dog like a Boxer....?

You need to look into the laws ASAP. I've never flown a dog before, but I do know that when you bring a dog into an island ecosystem there are often quarentine requirements, usually 6 months. I don't know if Hawaii requires this, but it wouldn't surprise me.

Thanks I never knew that.

I lived in Hawaii for 3 years... I can answer any questions you have about bringing your dog to Hawaii. It is the biggest pain in the butt, start now because they have to do 6 months of quarantine once they get off of the plane. However, if you do all the prior paperwork 6 months in advance you should be able to take them off of the plane to your destination. There is a lot to it and it's very stressful (not trying to scare you but I went through it so I know), make sure you have all your stuff together and all the dates for everything are accurate or they will have to stay in the kennel....

What Island are you moving to? I live in Pearl City on Oahu for 3 years...

OMG I couldn't imagine being without him for 6 months....:crazyeye:

Something to look into for sure!

I lived in Hawaii for 3 years but it was during my early teens (more than 3 decades ago!) when my dad was stationed at the marine base in Kaneohe. Loved it there, have many good memories. We vacationed there last year and we're planning to go to Maui this summer.

I'm moving to Oahu. Honolulu for school going to hawaii pacific university. I will leave here July 31st 2012. I'm thinking about driving to new mexico where my grandfather lives and he's gonna drive me to california and then catch the plane from there. Does anyone know if I can fly her with me? or does she have to be in a cage down below like cargo? or can I just buy her a ticket and she sits in the seat next to me?

Dalenica2 do you have a number I could call to get all this information on how to go about getting my baby quarantined?

She will have to ride in a kennel in the cargo area of the plane.

Sorry, I don't have any info with regards to quarantine. The link was a boxer dog club that you can join so that you can mingle with other boxer owners.

Haha - I'm pretty sure it was in different centuries! We were there from 1975 - 1978. Maybe you weren't even born then!

When we got our boxer, Brystal, we got her from a breeder in Ohio, and I live in Austin Tx. She was 8 weeks old at the time. Unfortunately, I believe she had a dramatic time. She is almost 3 yrs old now, and still afraid when an airplane or helicopter fly overhead. Also she is scared of the car. She will sat in the back seat with her body turned the opposite direction, facing the back and her butt on the edge of the seat. After reading articles on line about airlines and how they treat the pets I, personally, will never fly my pets unless they can seat in the seat next to me. My advice is to read the articles and really research the airline to find out how your baby will be treated. Good luck to you.
