Dogs are mostly comfortable taking a flight if they are used to traveling in the car. However, a little preparation is required and a little caution needs to be exercised before your pet takes a flight. A health check up for your four legged companion is a must, an inspection letter from the pet’s vet not older than ten days is mandatory according to legislation.
It is to ensure that the dog is vaccinated and free of transmissible diseases. Leaving the geographical territory of one country would mean that the dog will require quarantine. As an owner you should also ensure that the temperatures during the hours of flight are between 35 and 85 degrees. Though small dogs are allowed on board, medium and large sized dogs are transported into shipping case during the flight. It is important that dogs are trained to socialize with strangers and are comfortable in confinement.
It is ill advised to use tranquillizers, it being the primary cause for illness and death of dogs during air travel. Ensure that you label the dog and provide the necessary details to avoid losing your canine companion.
The best way to ensure a hassle free travel for your dog and yourself is to resort to the services of a specialized pet air transporter.
