My wife has a Lab in Ukraine I want to bring to the USA with her. What is the best option for traveling with a larger dog that far? Anyone here bring pets to USA?

If the dog is up to date on vaccinations, she should be able to travel with him.

The dog will need to be in an airline approved crate (which needs to be sturdy, and big enough so he can stand and turn around) and travel in the hold of the plane; be sure to book the dog at the same time as you book her ticket, as there is often limits to how many animals can fly on the same plane, and also an extra charge as it is effectively "extra bagage". Many airlines have seasonal and geographical restriction; ie, as the crate may be sitting on the tarmac for a few hours, they will not transport live animals in the hottest or coldest time of year.
