With the holidays fast approaching, we figured a few pet friendly travel tips may be appropriate to the season.
When flying, try to book direct flights for you and your pet. This will eliminate some of the stress of running through airports and changing planes - for both of you.
Avoid placing food in your dog's carrier. Travel can sometimes cause your pet to have an upset stomach. If he eats, things will only get worse.
If you are placing your dog in a carrier to take on board the plane, remember to check with the airline first to confirm what size carriers they accept and any weight limits they may have. Space under the seat may vary depending upon what plane is being used.
If you are in need of a carrier, call the airlines. Some airlines sell hard and soft side carriers for a reasonable price - and you know they will fit under the seat. When you book your flight, ask if you may reserve a carrier for purchase at the airport so it will be there when you arrive.
For larger dogs who must travel in the baggage compartment, avoid collapsible crates and look for something more sturdy such as aluminum.
Book the flight for you and your dog as early as possible. Some airlines limit the number of pets they allow on each flight.
Better to be safe than sorry. Even if you are carrying your dog aboard the plane, make certain your dog has an ID tag and that your name, address, and contact information are also on the carrier.
