Reading Comprehension: Travelling with pets

Certify Your Dogs Health before Air Travel

Law requires that a dog has been certified within 10 days of the trip to be healthy, vaccinated, and free from contagious diseases. 

Overseas Dog Air Travel May Involve Quarantine

For international dog air travel, keep in mind that some isolated countries, such as New Zealand and England, quarantine animals arriving by air. Before travelling and booking reservations, familiarize yourself with the laws, requirements, and procedures of your particular destination.

Don't Tranquilize Your Dog During Air Travel

Although tranquilization may seem like a good idea during canine air travel, it isn't. Tranquilizers are the leading cause of death or sickness of dogs during air travel. Unnecessary medication is not a good idea and can actually be worse for your dog.

Obedience During Dog Air Travel

Training your dog before airline travel is the best way to ensure a good flight. Do this by getting your dog used to being inside a travel crate for extended periods of time. Also, make sure your dog works well with strangers or uncomfortable environments.
