Rich Dogs Breathe Easy



Pull Mask to Initiate Flow of Oxygen, originally uploaded by Craig Damlo.

From my in-depth study of modern society—through TV reality shows—I know that it's the children of the rich that live the easiest lives with the most comfort. And now their pets get the safest travel (they are already getting the most luxurious travel). I've talked here about Pet Airways and asked if pets get oxygen in the event of the loss of cabin pressure, and they didn't. Now 4 Paws Aviation is offering supplemental oxygen hoods for dogs; well, dogs that fly on private jets anyway! These hoods still won't help my dogs who are down in the cargo area because you can only carry this onto a private jet at this point. Then, you would need to don it on the dog (after you have donned your own mask first) after a loss of cabin pressure. I've only flown with my dogs once in the cargo hold, but I still wish there was some way of ensuring that they would be able to continue to breathe in the event of a loss of cabin pressure.
