Have a Safe Flight!
Most pet parents find flying with their pets
extremely stressful and daunting. But, sometimes,
it is difficult to avoid taking a flight. In this section,
we’ll go over some tips that’ll help you.
Always go to a vet.
Before boarding the plane with your furry friend,
book an appointment with the vet to check if your
dog is healthy enough to fly. Depending on your
destination, your furry friend may also need some
shots.
Make sure that your dog’s breed isn’t restricted.
Certain airlines don’t allow some dog breeds
onboard. Before booking your ticket, call the
airlines to check to see if your dog will be allowed
to board the flight. In most cases, Brachycephalic
breeds such as Bulldogs, Boxers, Boston Terriers,
etc. aren’t allowed.
Train your pet to sit in the pet carrier.
Buy a TSA-approved pet carrier and start training
your dog to sit in it for extended periods of time.
Your furry friend should be able to sit in the carrier
for the length of the flight--this will assimilate him
to the carrier so that he doesn’t get stressed during
the flight.
Bring toys!
Giving your dog some toys to play with will help
keep his anxiety in check--especially during takeoff
and landing.
