Ali is a great gentle dog. Weight..about 85lbs height 34 inches ground to top of head. Will a giant kennel work? need extension? We just can't leave him, he is part of our family. Can we get him on on as baggage? Help! The plane is a 757 and the site says Y but other area's say he must go as cargo... What should I do?

If over 100lb's including kennel, he is required to go as 'cargo; Expect to pay a lot...as a broker will be involved.
Check the weather restrictions with the airline.
Further info is that Delta will no longer fly pets into Liberia airport, traveling as excess baggage'

The most lightweight dog transport carrier for you Lab/Shepard is the Vari Kennel 40 in. model which according to manufacturer's specifications weight 31 lb. So, that's going to put the combined weight of your dog and carrier at 116 lb. This will mean your pet must be shipped as cargo on most commercial airlines.

Check with YOUR air carrier for their specific regulations regarding transporting animals.
