Dogs And Airplanes
Pet owners must meet a lot of requirements before they can travel by air with their dog. Most airlines have the same general rules.
Dogs Aren't Allowed To Fly Alone
Dogs that are unaccompanied by any person aren't allowed to travel by air. Understand that dogs are considered to be cargo to the airline. You can't send your luggage to a city somewhere across the country without going with it (only the airline can do that - insert rim shot here) and you can't send your dog. Unaccompanied dogs must be transported by a licensed and approved pet transportation company.
Show A Clean Bill Of Health
All airlines require that a dog that will be flying with you receive a full physical examination and be tested for various diseases (most commonly rabies) before they'll be allowed to fly. The airlines would want you to present an exam certificate that is dated within a certain period of time before the flight.
Weather Is A Factor
You should know that an airplane's cargo hold can reach very high temperatures. Because of this fact there are restrictions on what times of the year dogs may travel to and from certain cities. Almost all airlines will also have specifically weather and temperature related restrictions. For example, if the temperature in the arrival or departure city exceeds eighty or eighty five degrees Fahrenheit, pets will not be permitted on the plane.
Animals In The Cabin
There are now many airlines that allow pets inside the cabin if they fit into the in-cabin kennel cage, which is 22 inches long by 9 inches high. This service usually costs under a hundred dollars. This is can be preferable to paying $300 for pets to be transported in the cargo hold.
International Flights
The customs laws of many nations restrict the passage of dogs and other pets over their borders. So there is little chance that your pet can come with you if you'll be traveling internationally.
