Traveling With Pets
by: Dana Goldberg
Sometime things happen and you need to leave right away.
If you have pets, this can cause a major problem. What
if no one is available to watch your pet? If you don’t
want to leave you pet at a shady kennel where most dogs
are kept in cages, you can simply take them with you;
it’s easier than you would ever imagine.
Most airlines allow pets. Some airlines even allow your
pet to be carried onto the plain if it is small enough
to put into a kennel that will easily slide under the
seat in front of you. If the dog is too large, it will
be kept in cargo which is temperature and pressure
regulated just like the passenger area. It is imperative
to make sure that your airline will make accommodations
for your pet as there are a few discount airlines that
will not. Especially if you buy your airline tickets
online, call ahead to verify their policies.
Each airline that accepts pets will ask you to make
reservations for you pet ahead of time because they can
only carry so many pets each trip. It is important to
make these reservations as soon as possible to ensure
your pet’s seat on the flight. Pets also require health
certificates to fly. You can purchase one from your vet,
but they only last for 10 days. If your voyage is
longer, you will need to purchase another for the trip
home.
As mentioned before, your pet will need a
kennel/carrier. These can be purchased usually for very
cheap at your local pet store. They come with padded
inside walls and in various sizes from extra small to
extra large depending on your needs. You will have to be
careful with your kennel purchase as there are some
carriers that aren’t approved for airline travel and
some that are. Be sure to ask the pet store workers for
help if you need it.
There is no need to tranquilize your pet, either. Air
travel will put your pet to sleep just like it does you.
The only thing that may aid your pet in travel is to
crate train it. Otherwise, everything will be fine! Have
fun traveling with your pet! |
