If the truth be known, the long-term effect is more applicable to humans
than dogs. Compared to humans, dogs have a relatively (unfortunately) short
life and as a consequence have a shorter potential of exposure than do
humans. Further factor, into it that the dog (presumably) isn't going to be
flying as often as its' human companion.

If you were to ask if I would do it (i.e, take my dog ((or God forbid one of
my catsgrin))), I would say no,,,, unless it was a dog that been exposed
to flight from puppyhood. Also, if you were to ask if I would get my dog
hearing protection (despite the facts regarding a relatively short-term
exposure), I probably would.... Of course, I got my first dog (a small
American Eskimo) a sweater,,,, so I can't claim to be driven by logic,
either grin

And now,,,,, since I obviously possess the sum total of all human
wisdom,,,,,,, the thread is closed.......... ;-) .... just kidding....
