Traveling with your Pet

If you are traveling with your pet, be sure to learn the regulations and coordinate with your airline in advance. Keep your pet safe by always using the elevator instead of the escalator. Make sure your pet is healthy and fit to fly.

Before traveling:

  1. Book your pet’s flight directly with the airline. If your pet cannot travel in the cabin, it may have to travel as cargo. Check the airline's policies for long flights.
  2. Contact the embassy or consulate of your destination country to find out travel regulations.
  3. Obtain all necessary documentation, such as health certificates.

Below you will find detailed information about these processes:
