Hi Gang I have a question, re: a dog that is going to the National and is on a raw diet, owners adamant about it, which is fine, but presents a challenge.....How to get the stuff there from California w/o it degrading or thawing or whatever. It has tripe and chicken and veggies all custom blended and mushed together and frozen, block style. It is easy to manage here, but with the new flight restrictions I wouldn't be able to carry it on? How to you raw diet folks that travel by air recommend I pack this stuff? I thought about a zillion gel packs, but they never seem to keep stuff frozen and we are talking about 8 or 9 hours before it's all said and done (from our house to airport, wait, flight, wait, and to rental company) I thought about block ice, in bags, in a cooler, the cooler in a cardboard box.....trying to avoid breakage and leaks....aaaack. Any suggestions would be appreciated!!
