]]> While flying can prove to be challenging as it is, taking your pets along for the journey can present challenges that otherwise wouldn’t exist. Here are some tips to help make flying with your pets easier to manage, thereby enabling you to stress less and enjoy your flight.

Visit The Vet Before

Before boarding your flight, it’s important to know that your pet is in good health. This will, after all, limit the likelihood of your pet encountering health and other issues during the flight. Make sure to book a checkup with a vet you trust in order to make sure that your pet is in a good condition to travel.

Help Your Pet Adjust To The Kennel

If flying with a dog or another pet that sleeps in a kennel, make sure that your furry pal is well-adjusted to their temporary home. This will make their flight more comfortable. Make sure to fit the kennel with a comfortable bed as well as pads and pack some of their favorite toys.

Ask To Board Early

Once you arrive at your departure gate, ask the airline staff if you and your pet can board early. Boarding early can help you to acclimatize your pet to a new environment and keep them calm, thereby improving their flight experience upon takeoff.

]]> Whatever your reason for traveling, it can be hard to leave your pet behind. Many of us view our furry friends as family, and the idea of leaving them in someone else’s care feels a bit like leaving a piece of our hearts. The decision to take your pet with you, however, is also not without certain complications, and it’s important to be aware of all of the requirements before opting to fly with your fur baby in tow. Here are some of the key points to consider.

Airline Policies

Different airlines have different policies regarding traveling with your pet, including but not limited to size restrictions, prohibition of certain breeds, and crate requirements. Before you book your ticket, thoroughly read up on the policies of your airline to make sure that you’ll be able to meet all of their necessary criteria. 

Health & Safety

Depending on where you plan to travel, you’ll be required to present certain documents to prove that your pet is in good health. Airlines and destinations both may ask to see vaccination records or health certificates, so be sure to figure out what you’ll need in advance so that you have time to secure everything from your vet’s office.

Your Pet’s Comfort

We know how much you love your furry friend. It’s important to be aware that all of the unfamiliar sights, sounds, and smells that come with air travel may make flying a stressful experience for them. While most airlines allow animals under a certain weight to remain in the cabin, larger pets will likely need to fly in the cargo hold. Either way, they’ll need to be kept in a carrier throughout the flight, so do what you can to make them more comfortable by packing plenty of treats and their favorite toys.

]]> If you are a pet parent, flying often seems out of the equation when it comes to traveling. The majority of airlines are not pet-friendly, leaving road trips as the only truly viable option when it comes to getting from one destination in the country to another. 

But there are airlines out there that will happily let your beloved dog, cat, bird, or any other domestic pet accompany you, as long as you follow certain guidelines.

Southwest Airlines

Southwest allows 6 animal carriers aboard each flight, so get in quick if you’d like to bring your furry friend. Both cats and dogs are able to fly in the cabin as long as they are small, vaccinated, and at least 8 weeks old. Each pet must remain in their carrier for the entirety of the trip (two animals of the same species can be together, though) and the kennel counts as your carry-on item.

Delta Airlines

Transporting a bird? Delta is your airline. Cats and dogs are also welcome, but all pets must be at least 10 weeks old for domestic flights, 16 weeks old for flights to the U.S. from another country, and at least 15 weeks old when flying to destinations within the EU. 

Spirit Airlines

Travelers flying domestically, to the US Virgin Islands or Puerto Rico, can bring their dogs and cats aboard Spirit as long as they are older than 8 weeks. Dogs do require a health certificate from a vet, however, and must be vaccinated against rabies. Unfortunately, furry friends are not permitted on other international flights.

]]> Traveling with your pet can be an amazing experience, but there are some things you should know before you start this adventure. If you want to take your cat or dog with you on a trip, here’s how to make sure everything goes smoothly.

How to Prepare

  • Make sure your pet is comfortable with new places and situations. If they’re not, start with small trips and make sure they’re having a lot of fun.
  • Create a list of all the things you need to bring for your pet. Include toys, dishes, treats, a brush, a litter box for cats, medications, health certificate, etc.
  • Check if the accommodation allows pets and see if there are any particular rules in the place where you’re planning to stay.

On the Destination

  • Protect your pet from fleas and ticks with a spray if you haven’t treated them back at home. You don’t want to spend your vacation days looking for a vet!
  • Explore the area you’re visiting together with your pet. Depending on the location and the animal you have, you can go for a walk together or you can take them in a pet carrier. Find a place to play together and create some amazing memories.
