April 18, 2018: United has suspended transporting pets (dogs, cats, etc.) until they can figure out how to do so and not kill them — both in the cargo area and onboard flights. Seems a recent passenger placed her small pet dog (in a pet carrier) in the over head bin above her seat and then was not allowed to retrieve the pet during landing — with Fido yelping away. Unfortunately Fido “expired” and didn’t make it — I think some “stupidity” here on both the owner and United! Travelers beware if you’re traveling with your Fido!!!
