Pet Transport Guidelines
When preparing your pet for transport, it's essential to follow specific guidelines to ensure a safe and stress-free journey for your furry friend. Below are the key requirements and recommendations for pet transportation:
Pre-Transport Requirements
- Cleanliness:
- All pets must be bathed and thoroughly cleaned before transport.
- Animals arriving dirty, with a foul odor, or infested with ticks and/or fleas will not be permitted to travel.
- Note that any deposits made are non-refundable if your pet is not allowed to travel due to cleanliness issues/valid health certificate.
- Health Certificate:
- A valid health certificate, issued no more than 10 days before the travel date, is mandatory.
- This complies with USDA regulations and ensures your pet is fit for travel.
Packing Essentials
- Pet Food:
- Include a small bag of pet food sufficient for the entire duration of the transport. This ensures consistency in diet, preventing digestive issues.
- Comfort Items:
- It is highly recommended to pack a favorite toy, chew bone, and/or a blanket.
- These items can help alleviate stress and provide comfort in an unfamiliar environment.
Pet Measurements
- Weight, Age, and Height:
- Accurate measurements of your pet's weight, age, and height are crucial for determining the appropriate kennel size.
- This is especially important for pets traveling by air, as airlines have strict regulations regarding these specifications.
* Note that any deposits made are non-refundable if your pet is not allowed to travel due to cleanliness issues, valid health certificate, and/or misrepresented size
Following these guidelines will help ensure a smooth and comfortable journey for your pet. By preparing in advance, you can contribute to a safer and less stressful travel experience for your beloved companion.
