By Musa Aykac


If you are intending to take your pet on a plane with you, then you may have some questions as to the way the whole process works. Well the great thing about this is that it should not be very stressful to fly with a pet provided you have taken care of all the preparatory work beforehand. So if you are intending to fly with your pet, the tips below should help.

- If you are thinking of taking your pet with you on a flight then you will have to plan well in advance. Sometimes it can involve a lot of work; especially if you are travelling somewhere that doesn't recognise a pet passport or if you don't have this documentation. You will probably have more planning to do if you have never travelled with your pet before.

- It is essential that you check out the pet policy of any airline that you want to use. It is essential that you are aware of the rules and regulations that apply to the airline you are using as they all have different ones.

- It is considered animal cruelty to take a pet under the age of two months on a plane and it is not allowed. A pet must be fully weaned before you can take it on a flight with you.

- It is best if you can choose a direct flight to your destination than your pet needing to be transferred between different flights.

- Anyone taking a long haul flight with a dog should make sure that the dog gets enough exercise before the flight.

- There are risks associated with taking animals on planes. You should make a point of finding out about these risks and then doing everything that you can to avoid them. The good news is that most pets will arrive at the destination without any problems.
