SIX Essential tips for Air travel with Pets
INTRODUCTION Nothing beats the thrills of traveling around the world. Everyone wants to go to their favorite spots along with loved ones which include their lovely pets. So, here are some tips to make your trip easier, when traveling by air with your pet.
1.PLAN AHEAD You will need to check with the airline to ensure they allow pets in the main cabin of the aircraft. You will be required to make a separate reservation for your pet. The cost per pet will range from $70-$125 each way. Most airlines have a limit regarding the number of pets they allow, in the main cabin, on each flight. So reserve your pet's flight when you book your own. 2.PET CARRIER You will need an airline-approved pet carrier for your little companion. Airline approved carriers are designed to fit under the seat in front of you. However, many aisle seats will not be large enough to accommodate a pet carrier. Go to your airline's website for more information on acceptable carriers and carrier dimensions.
3. HEATH CERTIFICATE Most airlines require a current health certificate from your veterinarian. This means your pet must be in good health and be up to date on all their shots. A current health certificate is obtained 10-30 days before travel. Check with your airline to determine the appropriate time frame. 4. SEDATION If you have never traveled by air with your pet, or you have a high- strung pet, you may want to consider sedating your pet. Talk to your veterinarian, at the time you are getting your health certificate, to determine if this is appropriate for your pet. There are herbal remedies available for calming and relaxing your pet.
5. PRE-FLIGHT MEAL Be sure your pet's last meal was at least 8 hours before flying. A light dinner, the night before travel, is best. A slightly hungry pet will be more comfortable than a pet that needs to evacuate. Bring along some small nibbles for your pet to reward them for good behavior during your trip. Allow your pet to drink water up to an hour before your flight. When in the terminal, pick up a bottle of water. You can offer your pet a sip or two if you feel they may be dehydrated. 6. POTTY BREAK Always allow your pet to go potty before your flight and on long layovers (if appropriate). In advance of your trip research where the Pet Relief areas are located in the airports, you will be traveling to. Be sure to bring your pet's collar and leash to allow your pet to stretch its legs safely. Never forget to bring a supply of poop bags. The more you travel with your pet the easier it gets. You know your pet the best. Planning is the best way to ensure a stress-free fun trip. Happy Travels!
