Traveling With Your Pet

Protecting your pets is top of mind when traveling

Big, small, short, wide - no matter what size your pet, traveling with your furry friend can be a nervous experience, for both of you! Before you size up cages and prepare your animal's must-haves for flying, stop and consider the essentials of flying. 

Does your pet have all its shots?

Is your pet used to travel? Or, will you need time to train your animal on being in a cage for a period of time?

Are you aware of all the rules and regulations surrounding pet travel? 

The Department of Transportation's Air Travel Consumer Report offers comprehensive reports from veterinarians, airlines, and the government that detail the specifics of flying with your pet. Make sure you read the list of laws and follow the suggested rules from airlines to ensure your pet arrives in pristine condition. 

There are varying rules for domestic and international travel with pets. Your best bet is to contact the airline before you travel to ensure you're up to date on all the necessary travel requirements before bringing your pet to the airport.

See the entire Pet Travel Report, including the specific rules set by airlines.
