You can book online or by phone (whichever you prefer), then after you're fully booked call/tell the airline about your SD if you want the bulkhead or another specific seat due to your SD. You don't have to notify the airline ahead of time about your SD if you don't want special seating, but it doesn't hurt to do so. (If you have a psychiatric service dog, you are required to tell the airline in advance.) Check your seats from time to time to be sure they haven't accidentally moved you from your required seat (this is where having an online airline account comes in handy).<br /><br />U.S. airports are required to have potty areas for SDs and airline personnel are required to take you to the area if you ask. Most areas are not within the secure area, which makes using them during layovers impossible time-wise.<br /><br />Once you're in the air, you can offer an ice cube to your SD every once in a while, but be sure they just lick it, not chew it. This hydrates them but doesn't leave them with an uncomfortable full bladder (or worse, to have an accident on the plane or in the airport).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
