OUR PREVIOUS EPISODE ON TRAVELING WITH PETS
What to Pack when traveling with Pets
Pets:
- Bring some comforts of home (usual toys, food, bedding)
- Use a carrier
- Read up on policies before hand (some pets can only be transported in the cargo hold while others allow you to bring a pet as your carry-on item)
- If transported in a cargo hold ask to watch you pet being loaded and unloaded
- Notify at least one flight attendant (if the captain knows they take special precautions)
- Don’t ever ship brachycephalic animals such as pekingese dogs, bulldogs, or persian cats in the cargo holds as they are vulnerable to oxygen deprivation and heat stroke
- Make sure the pet is wearing their ID tags
- Keep their medical records with you and bring a first aid kit in case of an emergency
- medications, if needed
- Formal health certificate from your vet (many airlines require one)
- Clip their claws prior to the trip
- Waste bags
- Leash/Harness/Collar (make sure it can’t get caught on the doors)
- Food and treats with collapsible bowls (for water too)
- Do not feed for four to six hours before the trip
- Towel
- Travel blanket
- Grooming supplies (click the nails before hand to prevent getting hooked in things)
- Use direct flights (avoid mistakes during transfers and possible delays in getting your pet off of the plane)
- Carry a current photograph (in case your pet gets lost)
- Litter box if traveling in the car
