This week we are lucky enough to have a guest blogger. This week’s blog comes to us from DJ Kuszewski at Wonder Dogs in El Segundo, CA. She has traveled frequently via plane with her 65. Shepherd mix www.gratefuldogs.net
Tips for flying with your furry friends….
Call the airline and get as much info ahead of time.
1) you will need a health certificate. They usually only last 7 days, so if you are staying longer, you may need a vet at your destination to provide you with another for the return trip.
2) Plan overnight or early morning flights when it is cool. If your flight is delayed in the summer, the temps. get hot in the summer and if the plane is sitting on the tarmac with you pet while the engine is off, they won’t overheat. Most airlines will not take pets when it is above freezing or over 85 degrees in the summer, hence the early flights or red-eyes.
3) Write your pets name and your contact info all over the crate, and in large letters, so you can be reached at anytime in case of problems.
4) Some airline put zip-ties on the crate door to ensure it won’t open during flight and handling…but this can difficult to remove once you’ve received your dog at your destination. With the no sharp objects rule its to have some tool handy to let your dog out at baggage claim, nail clippers I think are ok, but I pack something just in case or ask an someone at the help desk to help you. Its very frustrating not to be able to open the cage when your dog is dying to pee and you have no tool to get the zip ties off.
5)Try to book direct flights, when this is not possible, book enough time between flights so that you can get your dog from baggage claim, take them on a walk and then have enought time to check them back in for the next flight.
6) Rather than getting your vet to prescribe tranquilizers…which can make your dog even more freaked out because they are not used to the drowsy feeling, not to mention stress of loud flight and being in a new place all alone with others handling them in their crate, talk to your vet about giving them some benadryl that can just make them a little sleepy. Often tranquilizers make pets like a dead weight in their crate, much like a package, and they are not able to adjust their body to the motions during the flight, which can be more dangerous than if they were awake and fully aware of their surroundings.
7) Before departing or boarding, check with the gate attendant or flight attendant on board to have the captain verify you dog has been loaded, you would not want to get to your destination and find out your dog didn’t get on the flight, better safe than sorry.
Do get to airport early to allow enough time to properly check your dog in (but not too early) often they will let you check in, and then allow you to take your dog for a walk for last minute tinkles and potty before being in a crate for awhile…I also
tip the baggage handler that takes your dog and ask them to be careful.
