How to Prepare your Pet for their travels

One of the biggest mistakes people make is not preparing their pets appropriately before they travel.

No matter if your pet is being shipped internationally by Air or locally by Ground preparing your pet correctly can minimize stress enormously.

  • Check that your type of pet is fit for travel – Some pet breeds travel more comfortably than others, such as snub-nosed dogs, which have trouble flying. Consult experts about your pet.
  • Familiarize your pet with its enclosure – We advise introducing your pet to its travel enclosure as early as possible, ideally a few weeks before the trip. Make them as comfortable as you can in the enclosure by placing a nice, familiar blanket on the floor.
  • Make sure your pet is comfortable being handled in its enclosure –Once your pet is comfortable in the enclosure, start moving them inside of it to get them accustomed to being moved while they are inside.
  • Ask your pet transport agent – Ask your pet travel provider if your particular animal needs any further preparations.
  • Expose them to airport sounds or sounds they may encounter on their trip – Play some recordings of sounds that your pet might encounter while travelling because the majority of pets, particularly dogs, are extremely sensitive to sound.
  • Vet visits and vaccinations – Before travelling, bring your pet to the vet for a health certificate, a general checkup, and to receive all necessary vaccines. I.e., at least 30 days must pass after receiving the rabies vaccination to travel.
  • Microchipping – Before travelling, if at all feasible, get your pet microchipped. Some nations mandate the microchipping of some animals.
