How to safely move multiple dogs, including a sick Shih Tzu, long distance?

Question

I plan to sell home and move to mid west. Airline reg's are so confusing and hard. What other alternatives do I have? I have 4 dogs from 8lbs to about 15. I'd planned to put 2 dogs in one carrier, but one is vocal just in car. Airline don't want. I have Shih Tzu is snub nose, don't want her either. I can't drive back this time. Help please I want to move soon. The Shih Tzu suffers from reneal disease too. Pet's info: Dog | Shih Tzu | Female | spayed | 13 years and 11 months old | 12 lbs

Talk to your vet about anxiety medication to calm them. This will control the vocal one so it will not be an issue. If the older shih Tzu has renal disease and having a shorter nose I would make that one that travels in your lap so the airline is not responsible for her at all and you can monitor her and make sure she get water as needed. You may have to take 2 trips, splitting them up to get everyone to your new home safely.
