Plan for your pet's trip in the same way you plan your own, well
in advance. A clean bill of health is an important first step
assuring your pet's ability to adjust safely to unfamiliar
surroundings. In addition, most states and countries require recent
health certificates and disease inoculation documentation before you will be
allowed to cross borders, making a trip to the veterinarian
mandatory. Make sure your pet has a special identification tag with
name, your name, and a destination address or that of a friend or
relative.
When traveling by air. The pet kennel/carrier in
which your pet will be spending most of his/her trip is of the utmost
importance. Your pet most have room to turn freely while in a
standing position and be able to use normal movements in order to stand erect or
lie down in a natural position. The Airline can provide you with
further information.
Boarding your pet can run from $5 to $20 per day,
depending on special requirements and size of the
animal.
