Pets flying in the cabin: Most airlines will only fly small dogs or cats in the cabin. This class of service is offered according to airline pet policies if your pet weighs under 8 kg (including its carrier) and can be stowed under the seat in front of you. Your pet is checked in at the terminal ticket counter.

Pets flying as checked baggage: An adult passenger must be accompanying your pet on the flight. Your pet is checked in at the terminal ticket counter and will fly in the cargo hold

Pets flying as air cargo: This class of service is for larger pets, unaccompanied pets, or those not permitted to fly in-cabin or as checked baggage. Pets are checked in at your airline’s cargo facility, which is generally located on airport grounds but, in very rare cases, at the terminal

It’s essential to research airline pet policies, choose a pet-friendly airline with a good safety record, and consider your pet’s breed, health, and comfort. Some airlines have specific breed restrictions or temperature guidelines for pets traveling in the cargo hold. Daisy Pet Transport will give you detail advise base on your pet situation

If your pet is flying with you in the cabin carry plenty of pet pads. Layer several pads inside the carrier. In case of accidents, take your pet to the lavatory and remove the soiled pad. You will have a fresh one right below it. During layovers, ask for a closed space so you can remove your pet from the carrier and provide it with a pad. Also, ask about a pet relief area. Many airports are installing these for the convenience of in-cabin service and ESAs.

If your pet is flying in the cargo hold, know that the crew cannot assist it during flight. During the layover, handlers will check on the level of water available to your pet and feed it if IATA regulations require that. You need to tape a small bag of your pet’s food to the top of the crate for that purpose. Further service will depend on the length of the layover and the facilities available to the airline in the layover airport.

To help keep your pet calm during travel, acclimate it to its crate or carrier far in advance of travel. This is simply the most meaningful thing you can do to help your pet get through the journey.

Consider using calming aids such as pheromone sprays or supplements, providing familiar items such as blankets or toys, and avoiding feeding your pet a large meal before the journey. Additionally, try to remain calm and reassuring to help alleviate your pet’s anxiety.

Yes. Many airlines will not fly aggressive dog breeds or brachycephalic (flat-nosed) breeds. Additionally, many countries publish lists of aggressive dog breeds that will not be permitted entry. It’s essential to check with the airline and destination country’s regulations before traveling with your pet.

The reason why some countries will require that your pet wait for a certain time after the rabies titer test is because, if your pet had rabies before being vaccinated and titer tested, the symptoms may not show up for 3-6 months. The rabies vaccination prevents an animal from getting rabies if exposed; however, it does not cure rabies if your pet had the rabies virus before being vaccinated.

Some countries have quarantine requirements for pets entering their territory to prevent the spread of diseases. Examples of countries requiring quarantine are: Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Guam, and other Pacific Island countries.
