To prepare the pets for the flight, the couple needed to train them around a month in advance.
“We modified their feeding and water schedule about a month in advance so they’d be basically take their final poddy right before we left for the airport,” Suriwong wrote in part. “Our older dog, had an accident as we got off the jetway in Singapore but it was ok since we had pee pads, poop bags, and baby wipes at the ready.”
“We had them sleep at home listening to an airplane sounds video on YouTube for several nights before our flight so they wouldn’t be as surprised by the noises,” Suriwong added. “We had a surround sound system so it sounded quite realistic. Didn’t seem to bother them and they slept soundly every night.
According to Suriwong, the ground crew took selfies with Mindy and Peanut, cuddled them and gave them “the celebrity treatment."
