Air Transport for your Pet
Regulations and rules for animal transportation by air vary airline to airline. You will be responsible for preparing your pet for travel, providing the necessary supplies and documentation, and complying with airline rules.
Should you choose air for Pet transport Services?
- Some pets should not travel by air. Shipping a pet in the cargo bay of an airplane exposes your pet to stress, so only ship health well-behaved pet by air.
- Do not ship your pet by air if he / she is:
What documentation do you need for animal transportation?
- You should consult your airline as well as the state or country you are flying to for supply and documentation requirements for pet air transportation.
- Most airlines require health and vaccination certifications. These documents must be provided and signed by a licensed veterinarian. Most airlines have time requirements, so gather these documents no more than 10 days before your trip.
- Some states and countries require additional documentation, depending on what kind of animal you are shipping. Contact the State
- Veterinarian or Agriculture Department for specific documentation rules. If you are moving pets overseas, contact the destination country's consulate.
What supplies do you need?
- When shipping your pet by air, you will need a kennel. The kennel should allow your pet to stand up, turn around, and lie down comfortably. If you are taking your pet in the cabin, and not shipping him or her as cargo, the kennel will need to be able to fit under your chair.
- In addition to a kennel, pack these items with your pet:
What do do when you arrive at the airport:
- When you arrive at the airport, arrive on time. Make sure to arrive enough in advance to process your pet as cargo, but not too early. Most airlines do not let you check in earlier than three hours in advance.
- Make sure to take your pet to the cargo area of airport. You will not be able to check your pet as regular luggage, so make sure to locate the correct loading dock.
- When giving the airline employee your pet, make sure they have the required documentation. Explain any special needs and feeding requirements. Although not required, you may want to tip the airline employee that takes your pet and encourage them to take special care of your pet.
- Once you have checked in your pet, let every airline employee you meet know that you are traveling with a pet. The more people that know you are flying with a pet, the more likely it is that you will have no problems during your trip.
- If you can, watch for your pet to be loaded and unloaded, especially if you are transferring planes mid-trip. Finally, claim your happy pet as soon as you get off the plane.
Pet Relocation by Car
For a weekend trip or a cross-country move, sometimes you will need to transport your pet by car. You may do this yourself, or you might hire a professional pet transporter. Either way, there are several things you can do to keep your pet safe and happy during the car trip.
Prepare for pet relocation
- Begin to acclimate your pet to the car. If your pet does not usually ride in the car, let them wander around your carr while it is parked. Then, start taking your pet on short trips around the neighborhood, watching for signs of carsickness or anxiety.
- If you do not notice signs of carsickness, take your pet in for a check up with the vet. This is a good idea, even if your pet does fine in the car. Your veterinarian can suggest medication or offer tips for a successful car trip.
- Usually, your pet will be fine in the car as long as you are in the car with them. If you hire a professional pet relocation service, however, make sure your pet is comfortable with strangers. A pet training course before handing your pet over to a stranger is a great idea; it helps the pet transporter handle your pet better and lets you live with a well-behaved animal.
Get ready for pet relocation
- Finally make sure you have the proper supplies for shipping your pet by car. You will need to purchase an appropriately sized kennel or car seat for your pet. Also pack:
Professional Pet Relocation Services
If you are hiring a professional pet relocation service, make sure you know what supplies they are providing and what supplies you are responsible for. By preparing your pet properly for car transport, you will keep your pet safe and you (or your professional shipper) happy.
Choosing a Pet Carrier for Shipping
Whether you choose road or air transportation for your pet, a kennel is essential. Keeping your pet in a locked kennel keeps them safe during travel. It also allows airline employees or your professional pet transportation service to safely handle and move your pet. Finally, if you properly create-train your pet, it keeps your pet happy and feeling safe inside his or her own den
Pet kennel size
- Pet kennels should be large enough that your pet can sit, stand, lie down, and turn around comfortably. Sometimes two cats can share the same kennel, if it is large enough. If your pet is pug-nosed, purchase a size up. The extra space will help your bet breath.
Pet crate materials
- Pet crates should be made out of a sturdy, rigid material. Most airlines require that your pet's kennel is wood, plastic or metal. Soft top kennels may be allowed for carrying your pet on board or during car travel, but are not appropriate for shipping your pet as cargo.
- Make sure the bolts on your pet's kennel are sturdy, and carry extra bolts in case there are any breaks.
Pet carrier features
- Your pet carrier should:
Preparing pet carriers:
- Once you choose an appropriate pet carrier, you need to prepare it properly for travel. This will keep your animal safe in the car or in the air.
