Flying With Dogs Dog Travel Forum

Hello, Im traveling with my dog from beirut to los angeles for turism, making scale at GDG, i would like to know the rules or the things i need to have in order to not have problems in the transit area with my dog. Shes is traveling with me at the cabin since she is less than 8kg with the carrier included. I dont want to put on her the chip, so somebody told me that if we stayend at the same terminal, she doesnt need the chip and the procedure will be more easy, can someone give me some info about this
