Flying with Pets

For those of you who take your 4 legged companions with you on flights. What altitude do you typically fly at and what is the highest you have taken them without any worry? I don't have O2 yet so no current plans to get above 12k, but not sure if my dog would be perfectly fine around 10k for 3-4hr legs. Also as you climb and descend do you ever have issues with the pressure change making them uncomfortable and how do you combat it?

I’ve been up to 13,000ft with my birds while I was on Oxygen. But then again birds have superior cardio-respiratory systems with high heart rates and air sacks. Their breathing is more akin to a turbo charged engine. 4 legs good, 2 legs better.

haha well that's debatable about 4 vs 2 legs and what is better. Your birds are cool to watch though.
