| Make sure your pet is
wearing a collar and an ID tag. The collar should
include destination information. |
| Book direct flights whenever possible. |
| Purchase a USDA-approved shipping
crate that is large enough for your pet to sit,
stand and change position in comfortably. |
| Affix a photograph of your pet to
the top of the crate for identification purposes. |
| Do not lock the door of the crate,
so that airline personnel can open it in case of
an emergency |
|
| Acclimate your pet for a long trip
by taking him or her on a series of short drives
first. |
| In addition to travel papers, food,
bowls, leashes, a waste scoop, plastic bags, grooming
supplies, medication and a pet first aid kit, make
sure to pack some toys and a favorite pillow. |
| Harness, rather than leash your
dog inside a car. |
| Don’t allow pets to ride with
their heads outside the window as it subjects them
to flying objects, inner ear damage and lung infections. |
