Does it break your heart to think of leaving your pet behind while you travel? If so, you will be happy to learn you can take your pet on a plane with you. According to the USDA, you can take a pet on a flight as long as they are fully weaned, healthy, and eight weeks old. They also need to meet the air travel guidelines that are established by each airline.
Flying with a pet is more common than you may realize and there are plenty of travel-related items that help your pet ride in comfort. Common travel items for pets include seat belt harnesses, portable water dispensers, toys, waste bags, and blankets that can be purchased online or at your local pet store.
Generally, dogs and cats are the most common animals that travel via a flight with their owners. There are special circumstances such as emotional support and service animals that will allow a different type of pet but this will need to be discussed directly with the airline of your choice.
Typically, animals that are not considered to be for emotional support of the passenger usually travel via cargo. Flying for animals can be a fun or traumatic experience depending on your pet’s specific personality and reaction to new environments. Well-socialized dogs and cats often have the best experience traveling on a plane while animals that are prone to fear and anxiety can have issues that lead to health problems when overly stressed for long periods of time. If you are concerned about your pet traveling on a plane, consult with a licensed veterinarian for further guidance.
There are a variety of guidelines that pets must meet to fly on a plane via cargo or in the cabin.
The following list contains the most common rules and regulations for airlines:
Keep in mind that your pet needs to be healthy, have a certificate of health, veterinarian approval, and an airline regulated kennel to safely travel with you on a flight. Contact the airline of your choice to ensure your pet meets their specific regulations and rules before booking your flight.
