Choosing The Appropriate Pet Carrier When Flying With Your Pet.
If your travel plans involve flying with your pet, one of the first and most important things to consider is the pet carrier. Getting the right carrier for your pet is essential and should not be a last minute purchase. Pets need ample time to adapt to their new temporary quarters.
When flying with your pet, the first decision to make is whether the carrier should be hard sided or soft sided. Tiny dogs can typically fit in a carrier that will slide beneath the seat in front of you on the plane (inside the cabin). This means a soft sided transporter. The size of the carrier which will fit in this space is dependent upon the airline. Medium to large size pets need to travel beneath the cabin which means a hard sided carrier. The size of the pet carrier is very important. The proper sized carrier will allow your pet to stand up in the carrier, turn around and lie down. Many pet parents are tempted to fit their pet into a soft-sided carrier so they can bring their pet inside the cabin with them. It’s recommended to get a pet transporter for your pet well in advance of your trip so that they can get used to it, especially if your pet is not used to a crate or carrier. This will minimize his or her stress during travel. To let your pet to get accustomed to their new pet transporter, place the carrier in your home and put some of your pet’s preferred toys or blanket it. Allow your pet to go in and out of the carrier at its leisure. The next step should be to put the carrier in your vehicle and place your pet in the carrier. Go on short drives, and after that build up to longer ones. This will help your pet feel at ease traveling in their new carrier.
As soon as you have selected the right carrier for your pet and they have acclimated to it, it’s important to fit your pet with a collar that can’t get caught in the transporter door during the pet transport. Affix two pieces of identification on the collar: a permanent ID with your name and home address and telephone number, also a temporary travel ID with the address and telephone number where you or someone of your trustees can be reached. In addition, attach a travel label to the pet carrier with your name, permanent address and telephone number, destination place, and where you or a contact person can be reached as soon as the flight arrives. It’s also a good idea to make sure that your pet’s nails have been clipped to protect against their hooking in the carrier’s door, holes, and other gaps. Following these guidelines will help to ensure that your pet is happy and your pet air travel is as safe as possible.
