On the go? Many times we don’t want to leave our dog at home. Here are a few ways to make travel with your pet full of blue skies.When reserving your ticket, tell the airline of your intentions to travel with your dog. Different airlines have different requirements, so it is always best to know what your specific airline requires. If you can, book early. Dogs under 15 lbs. may be able to accompany you in the cabin. Inquire if there is a limit to the number of pets permitted in the cabin per flight. Often, this limit is filled on a first come first serve basis.
Visit your vet. Most airlines want current medical certificates (10 days or less) stipulating that your dog is in good health to fly and is current on all inoculations. If your dog is nervous, ask your vet about sedatives.
Avoid placing any food in the crate. Not only can it get messy, eating may cause your pet to have an upset stomach.
Bring a current photograph of your dog with you. If he gets lost, having a photo can make the search easier.
Label, label, label. Place information and identification on everything. Make certain your dog has a collar with your current address and telephone number. Write your name, your dog’s name, your address, and phone number on the outside of the crate in which your dog is traveling.
When booking your flight, always travel on the same flight as your dog and look for direct flights to your destination to avoid missed connections or delays. Try not to fly midday when the weather is hotter.
Walk you dog immediately before boarding the plane and after you land to avoid accidents.
Carry your leash with you and not in the crate. Keeping the leash on your dog in the crate could cause a choking hazard for your pet.
If your dog is traveling in Class D (the area for baggage and live animals), make certain there is proper ventilation.
