Are you planning to move and would you like your furry to travel as comfortably as possible? If so, it is very important that you take several things into account before even booking your tickets.
That's why I'm going to explain to you how to travel with my dog by plane, so that in this way no problems or unpleasant surprises arise.
Things I need to know before traveling
Before buying the ticket it is necessary that inform the airline that you plan to travel with your dog, since the planes have a limited space for animals. For this same reason, it will be convenient to book the ticket as soon as possible (at least two months before), so that the furry does not run out of place.
So that the animal is safe, It must go inside a cage which will have been chosen taking into account the specifications of the airline, such as the measurements and the type of cage. If it weighs less than 6 kilos and the flight lasts four hours or less, some companies will give you the possibility of taking it in the cabin instead of in the hold if the quota has not been exhausted.
In the event that you are going to make a domestic flight, it will be enough for you to take your health card and put the microchip on it, but if it is an international flight, in addition to this you will have to carry your passport which the veterinarian will give you.
How to prepare your dog for air travel
The most important thing is to get him used to the cage weeks before the trip. So that it is not complicated, what you can do is leave it in a corner of the home with the door open and a blanket, so that the furry can use it as a den or bed.
The day of the trip, do not feed him five hours before leaving to prevent him from vomiting, and keep calm so that he can travel in peace. Feel free to take him out for a walk for at least 20 minutes before entering the plane. This will help you both relax.
Have a good trip.
