Are you and your furry friend ready for relocation out of the country? Making sure you have all the necessities ready for this kind of trip can be overwhelming. Here at Airpets, we specialize in international pet shipping and put together 10 steps to best prepare for the trip! If you have not already, visit our previous blog which highlights the first 5 ways to get ready for pet travel.
Step 6: Travel Carrier
You want to be sure your pet is both comfortable and safe when traveling – meaning you will need a suitable carrier for flight. Proper cargo crates need to be sizable enough for your furry friend to sit, stand, turn around and lie down comfortably.
Step 7: Food, Water, Medication
Food and water are necessities; Typically the TSA does not allow liquids – however, there are sometimes exceptions ( such as this case ). Animals can not be sedated and no medication can travel with them, so preparations will be necessary for your final destination.
Step 8: Port of Entry
Every country has its own set of requirements for pets prior to entering the area. Be aware that these regulations can change at any time. Most require both international and health certificates. Verify what your destination country seeks before traveling; the USDA has a great tool for searching these.
