Call your veterinarian and ask if it's okay if you go there once every other day or so, and just sit in the waiting room. Bring a treat you know he loves. Sit in the waiting room until he calms down and take the treat(s), then leave ONLY when he's calm and relaxed. Don't leave when he's anxious. If the veterinarian and the people who work there are okay with it, make them come and give him treats, praise, then leave. He should soon come to feel like this is a place where he gets treats and attention. At home, work with him on getting his teeth checked, his ears and the rest of his body. Once he's comfortable with this, put him on a table and continue the work there. The floor and a table can make all the difference in whether a dog is comfortable or not. Good luck!

I have, with no problems. I only fly United or Alaska/Horizon Airlines with my pets. I flew from Baltimore to San Jose. Never had a problem and they always took good care of my pups. Have any specific questions?

I have never used San Jose, only San Francisco and for airlines only American and Delta.. Years ago Delta offered "Delta Dash" that was counter to counter service… of course I was such a wreck that after flying a couple of my B's as baggage... I will not do it any more....
But that said, I am told that American, Delta and Continental are some of the best airlines to fly... -
I have flown from Oregon to San Jose and had a 8 week old pup in my lap the whole way. No problems except for him having gas which really stunk
I had my sharpa bag under the seat but kept him in my lap covered by my jacket and a towel to hide him. -
i havent flown to where your talking but my caira had a litter of pups and i shipped them from michigan to pa, md, and co. the only problem i had was with the weather but the airline wont take a dog unless a certain degree. but at far as getting there when it was warm enough it was fine.
