When flying with your pet, the first decision is whether the company should be hard or soft sided face. Very small dog can usually fit in a car that slides under the seat in front of you on the plane (inside cabin). This means that an operator faces soft. The size of the company, which fit in this space depends on the airline. Pets medium to large need to travel below the cabin which means that a carrier nerve.
The size of the cage is very important. The proper size carrier allows your pet to stand in the vehicle, turn around and lie down. Many parents are tempted to pet "fit" your pet in a soft-sided carrier so they can bring their pets in the cabin with them. This is a big mistake. Instead, get a company that is too large, will not give your pet the security you need. Also, make sure the company you choose has enough ventilation and that is comfortable for your pet.
It is recommended to get a cage for your pet well in advance of your trip so you can get used to it, especially if your pet is not accustomed to a crate or carrier. This will minimize stress during your trip. To allow your pet to get used to his new cage, place the carrier at home and put some of your pet's favorite toy or blanket him. Allow your pet to enter and leave the company in his spare time. The next step would be to put the carrier on your vehicle and place your pet in the vehicle. Go on short drives, and then build up the longest. This will help your pet feel comfortable traveling in his new company.
Once you have selected the right support for your pet and have adapted to it, it is important to fit your pet with a collar that can be caught in the door of the vehicle. Add two forms of ID in the neck a permanent ID with your name and home address and phone number and a temporary travel ID with the address and phone number where you or a contact person can be reached.
In addition, attach a label to travel to the cage with your name, permanent address and telephone number, final destination and where you or a contact person can be reached as soon as the flight arrives.
It is also a good idea to make sure your pet's nails have been clipped to protect against their hooking in the company's door, holes, cracks and other.
Following these guidelines will help ensure that your pet is happy and safe in flight.
