Embarking on an International Journey with Your Pet: A Comprehensive Guide
1. Not all pets are suited for travel. Those that haven't been fully vaccinated, are of weak constitution, have low immunity, or are in a sensitive phase of life—such as dogs and cats—those with ongoing illnesses, or those not yet recovered, should not be taken on trips. These animals may pose a risk to themselves and others.
2. Before embarking on a journey with your pet, ensure you have all the necessary travel accessories. This includes a properly sized airline crate, a foldable cage, and a sturdy leash. These items are crucial not only for your pet's safety but also for the wellbeing of others around you.
3. If you're considering air travel, remember that international travel requires flying. Always confirm with your airline in advance whether your pet can be transported as cargo. Once confirmed, gather all necessary petrelated documents and head to the airport's cargo desk to complete the necessary procedures. The process can be quite intricate and timeconsuming, so it's best to prepare well in advance. Given the risks to your pet's life on board, it's advisable to avoid taking pets with compromised respiratory function to the airport, as this could lead to tragic outcomes.
4. If you opt for a road trip, it can be the most convenient option, allowing you to bypass shipping costs and logistics. Ensure your pet is securely settled in the vehicle to prevent them from causing distractions or moving around, which could compromise the driver's attention.
With these steps in mind, you can confidently take your furry friend on adventures around the world!
