Travel Tips 25: How to Prepare Your Pet for a Plane Trip
The easiest way is to get someone to babysit your pet while you are holidaying. If you can’t bear to part with your precious, check out these helpful tips:
1. Bring extra copies of vaccination records with you.
Good if you have one copy in one bag and one in your pet’s carrier. You don’t know when you need them to show airline staff or some law enforcing officer.
2. Make sure your pet is comfortable in their crate or carry bag.
They must be able to get up and turn around. Remember to include a pee pad, “just-in-case” on the bottom of my carrier then your pet’s favorite bedding.
3. Check your pet’s collar before traveling.
Be sure your information, including temporary accommodation, is clearly written. If your pet escapes, then you can be contacted.
4. Water is important before the flight.
You may want to keep food to a minimum up to 6 hours before travel.
5. Prevent your pet from escaping
You must take your pet out of the carrier while you both go through security. This can be it’s “escape” moment because it will be very excitable once out of it’s carrier enclosure. It is very capable of running away from you to explore the strange land. Be sure to ask that your pet carrier go through the X-ray before you so you can quickly put your pet back in its carrier.
