How to Enjoy a Trip Like A Pro
Top Tips when flying internationally
Before going through security, it’s important to determine whether or not you can bring Fido (or your other favorite type of furry friend) along for the ride. To do so, visit www.tsa.gov and find out if pets are allowed on either of your flights in either cabin or cargo.
For example, some airlines allow pets in cargo but not under seats and some don’t allow any animals on their flights at all—ever . If it turns out that pets are allowed, get ready for an extra layer of security measures—and lots of questions!
The Best dog carriers
Are you looking for an easy, safe way to get your dog or cat from point A to point B? There are many types of carriers and each one has its own benefits and drawbacks.
The best choice for most people is usually a soft-sided crate that lets Fido move around freely but can be closed off in case he gets anxious.
How to pack the airline approved dog carriers
Once you’ve purchased an airline approved dog carrier for international travel, follow these steps to make sure you have everything ready before flying. It’s very important that no food or water is left in your pet’s cage once it has been loaded into an airplane. Keep your dog leashed during flight, and avoid making unnecessary noise or contact so they do not become distracted while being transported by air.
Remember that all animals are fragile; if handled incorrectly they can easily be injured during transport. Each airline offers unique instructions regarding pets, so always check with them before packing up your furry friend for transportation.
