Dog travel situation
We're currently residing in Gurgaon and have to shift to Mumbai with our six month old female beagle, who is not car friendly. What would be a better option, take her by air(3hrs approx) or by road (1380km i.e. 22hrs approx)?
And what sedatives should we give her so that she stays asleep through most of the the journey considering she does not like to travel or stay confined in an area?

most preferred is by air since most of the aircrafts accept it and no need for sedatives consult a local vet for fitness certificate to fly by air

If your dog is not comfortable by road, thn air is the best option coz the journey seems to be very long. So kindly consult your vet for a 'fit to fly' certificate plus the vaccination record has to be complete and also he will be able to advise you some sedatives based on her age and weight as there are some precautions related to the same.
