What is the biggest to fit "under the seat in front of you" puppy?

[Maria Aportela]

I am thinking of flying home with a pup, but due to schedule he will be about 13 weeks. I am really worried if he will fit as contintental does not allow pets to fly as bagagge, and since it is an international flight i can't do petsafe as it would involve brokers, customs, etc.
He right now is 7 weeks and 5.6 lbs, what do you think? Any opinions would be greatly apprreciatted...

MHO, a 7 week old puppy is pretty young to be traveling like that. He wouldn't be fully vaccinated and would be at risk for diseases so you might want to re-think this.

You'd have to find out what Airline approved crates are OK, I believe Vari-Kennel crates are OK. He's so tiny, that it sounds like he would fit in an airline approved crate. I think they even have soft crates that are approved. Sounds like he would fit just fine. If you're flying 1st Class, you have more room under the seat in front of you.

For an international flight however, you'll need to find out what if any, quarantine laws they have.

My girls came from Australia and it's the only country that does not have rabies so we didn't need to worry about that.

Hi thanks to all.

I thought I should clarify, he is now 7 weeks and 5.6 lbs, but I plan on traveling with him WHEN HE'LL BE 13 weeks.

yes that does help, thank you. It is just that it driving me crazy.....

Webber is a small standard.  He weighed 8.6 lbs at 8 weeks.  At 13 weeks he was 18.6 pounds.  What size is this puppy?  Seda, a medium, weighed 15.7 pounds at 13 weeks when I got her.  I am suspecting that his weight will, in some part, depend upon what size he is.  What are the under the seat limitations for weight?

[Maria Aportela]

Yes, he will be a small medium or large miniature. The dad is 20 lbs and 15 inch and the mom is 34 lbs, not sure if is 18 inch.

The max measurements are 18” L x 11” W x 11”H (46x28x28 cm) for soft sided kennels. What do you think?

Thank you all for your help and input
