How to Travel with Your Pet
Summary
Traveling unexpectedly to visit friends or relatives can be stressful, especially when you have a pet. Deciding whether to leave your furry friend at home or take them with you is often a concern. Fortunately, traveling with your pet can be easier than you might think.Traveling by Air
In-Cabin vs. Cargo
When flying with your pet, airlines typically offer two options: in-cabin and cargo. In-cabin travel is suitable for pets small enough to fit in a carrier under the seat in front of you. Larger pets need to travel in the cargo hold, which is temperature-controlled and pressurized for safety.Reservations and Airline Policies
Before booking your flight, confirm that the airline allows pet travel. Not all airlines accommodate pets in the cabin, and some discount carriers don’t accept pets at all. When purchasing tickets online, ensure your pet can join you.Pets need a reservation whether they travel in-cabin or cargo. Airlines have limits on the number of pets allowed per flight, so it's wise to book your pet's spot simultaneously with your ticket. Expect additional fees for both in-cabin and cargo travel.
Health Certificates and Carriers
You’ll need a health certificate from your veterinarian, valid for ten days. If your trip lasts longer, you’ll need a new certificate for the return journey.In-cabin pets must be in soft-sided carriers that fit under the seat. Choose one with enough room for comfort. Some carriers come with wheels for easier airport navigation. For pets traveling in cargo, an airline-approved hard-sided kennel is necessary. Verify that your existing crate meets airline standards.
