Travel from Sweden to Chicago O'Hare Help

[Jaxshuman]

I can't find the answers to my questions online or with the airlines so you are my last hope. I have already booked my dog's flight from Stockholm to Chicago. He has his vaccinations, rabies shot, and pet passport all ready.

1. Where do I put his passport? Do I just keep it on me and show it to whoever has my dog when I arrive?
2. What do I do once I get my suitcases and I am through customs? Will someone tell me where my dog is?

I hope someone here knows the answers...I feel a little stressed about not knowing.

Thanks in advance!

It depends on the class of service you are using to travel from Sweden to Chicago. If your pet is traveling as accompanied checked baggage in the hold, then you will show your pet's papers when you check it in at the reservation desk. You will pick up your pet at baggage claim in Chicago and clear customs together. If your pet is traveling as manifest cargo, then you will drop it off and pick it up at your airline's cargo facility.
