So I hear that you are planning a trip to Hawaii with your
bull dog Broody but are a little nervous about how it will affect Broody.
Obviously you haven’t taken him on an airplane and your fears are
understandable. But trust me, with the tips that I have for travelling with your pet, the trip to Hawaii will be all sun and play!
Although you may be aware of this, it is very important to
do a few things before you buy your airline tickets. Ask the airline about their policy on carrying
pets aboard with you and in case you cannot what are the restrictions on
transporting your pet below the cabin. Take a moment to ask if they have any
special health & immunization requirements. Finally don’t forget to inquire
about pet carrier dimensions, specifications and additional requirements.
It is time for you now to take Broody to the vet. We want to
ensure that he is strong enough to handle the travel in his carrier and
possibly away from you. Your vet will be able to tell you if his breed is
capable of being on a flight. On approval ask the vet to issue a health
certificate for your pet which should within ten days of your departure.
At this point you will have ironed out all the requisites in
order to purchase that airline ticket and start planning the trip. Try to select
non-peak, direct flights which means less passengers, more space and avoidance
of unnecessary stress for both you and beloved Broody. Select an airline that
can regulate temperature extremes to make your pet comfortable below cabin.
Finally here are some little tips that will dispel that
nervousness and make your pet’s trip safe and stress free:
- Try to be on the same flight as your pet. Plus notify the airline crew that your pet is on the flight for precautionary measures and ask if you can watch him/her get loaded/unloaded below the cabin.
- Try to be early for the flight so that the unnecessary stress of rushing can be avoided. If you are calm, Broody will be calm too.
- Get the pet carrier in advance. This way your pet will get familiar with the carrier. You could include a personal item in there that will make it easier for him/her. Also label the carrier with your information, address, destination country and contact details
- Don’t forget to trim Broody’s nails so that they don’t get caught anywhere. Ensure that his collar has all your contact details.
- Finally bring Broody’s photo and a leash on you
- Oops sorry, one last thing don’t feed him for four to six hours before the flight. A little water can be given and you could add a few ice cubes in a collapsible travel bowl secured within his carrier.
Now that you have all this down, I promise you that both you
and Broody will become seasoned travelers in no time. And if you need any more
information on traveling with your pet feel free to get in touch with me. In
