If a traveler is eager already for a grand vacation but worried for his furry friend, he shouldn't mind it anymore! Accordingly, dogs are allowed now to fly so why not take him on the trip. Hence, it is not an easy feat because there are a lot of factors to consider. So, here are the best reminders for a nice trip with a bundle of fur on the side.
According to Federal Aviation Administration official website, in flying pets, there are reminders to get acquainted if they will be carried, checked, or transported. Initially, they should be eight weeks and above weaned and ready for travel. Also, they should be made sure to be fed four hours before the flight. While their health issues are also highly taken on consideration as well, a health certificate (APHIS Pet Travel) is needed for this.
In addition, Hellogiggles shares more interesting reminders for dog owners planning a trip with their pet. It highlights the following: take note of the airline's restriction guidelines, familiarize dog with people, and bring a sturdy travel-proof cage. They may be small matters to look into but they can serve a big part of ensuring a trip. In the same report, it also suggests the use of "Barkability" which is a handy site used for searching pet-friendly locations.
For those who are really in need of the dog to be with them, there's a so-called Emotional Support Animal Program where the pet will be certified as a service animal. With this faster and more considerate air travel will be provided for the owner and his furry friend! Likewise, it doesn't come cheap as it costs about $250 and above for express application.
In conclusion, flying with dogs or pets is now easier than they were before. Take advantage of the new laws and get the best trip now with that lovable furry friend.
