Air Travel – Don't Let Your Dog Be A Statistic
An alarming number of dogs and other pets
become injured, lost, or even die on board an airplane when traveling. Compared
to the number of successful animals transported from one location to another
via the airlines, this number is low, however, it only takes one incident to
change your life forever when your dog becomes seriously injured or dies
because of a lack of preparation on your part.
We already mentioned about the most
important precautionary measure to take for the safety of your dog, which is
simply to take him to the vet for a complete checkup to avoid complicating a
pre-existing medical condition.

Please add the following additional tips to
your list:
Select The Quickest Airline Route
Researching for the flight that will make
the trip for your dog go by the fastest is easy, but one that many dog owners
do not think about. Take some time and research all of the options available
and ask the airline which flight time is the fastest.
Additionally, avoid flights that do not fly
directly to your destination. It does not happen often, but some dogs get
transferred to the wrong airplane, arrive in a totally different location than
the intended destination, and worse yet – never make it back to its owner.
Choose Flight Times During The Morning
Or Evening
As far as comfortability for your dog go,
do your best to select a flight that is either during the early morning hours
or early evening time. These are the best times during the day in which your
dog will experience the most comfortable of temperatures. Avoid flying your pet
during extreme weather climates that are too hot or too cold. Remember, he will
be stuffed down in the cargo area.
Puppies Are Advised To Fly With You In
The Cabin Instead Of The Cargo Area
It may seem like common sense to advise
this tip, but it does happen at times where puppies are loaded in a crate and
do not handle the flight very well. Always fly your puppy with you in the cabin
area so that you can keep the dog comfortable with small treats and affection.
A puppy's early weeks (and months) are a
very crucial time in its life. Everything that the dog experiences becomes
downloaded into its memory. It's called socialization and a traumatizing flight
that keeps a puppy in a constant state of shock and anxiety for hours on end
may have disastrous results that could last a lifetime for the pup.
