Is it safe for pets to fly as cargo?
'Cargo travel as live animals is as safe for pets as it is for us. Your pet will travel in a special cargo compartment within the aircraft head or bottom. This compartment is both temperature controlled and pressurized for your pet’s safety and comfort, and it is on the same air circulation system as the cabin. Many of our customers are envious that their pets are laying down comfortably on soft bedding in their crates, while the owners are sitting on the squeezed airline seats.
If you can imagine keeping your pet in a crate in the laundry overnight, this is similar to what your pet will experience while in the pet-compartment within the aircraft.
Elderly pets and pets with medical conditions may present a higher risk, however, generally a healthy pet going onto an aircraft will be healthy when it gets off.
Is tranquilization okay for my pets?
Air transport of sedated pets may be fatal. Over-sedation is the most frequent cause of animal deaths during airline transport and accounts for almost half of all deaths. Except in unusual circumstances, veterinarians should not dispense sedatives for animals that are to be transported. Little is known about the effects of sedation on animals that are under the stress of transportation and enclosed in cages at 8,000 feet or higher, the altitude at which cargo holds are pressurized. Additionally, some animals react abnormally to sedatives.
Animals can respond very differently to sedatives/tranquilizers under normal circumstances. Cats for instance, occasionally become more excited following the administration of "sedating" drugs. A tested and safe method for calming a pet is to transport the animal in a familiar crate or container, and without the use of sedating drugs. Once placed into the cargo environment, which is darkened after the door is shut, most animals will naturally relax and many will sleep. If sedatives or tranquilizers are used, the name of the drug (brand and generic) time of administration, dose and route of administration should all be clearly marked on the animal's container.
Rather than tranquilizing, pre-condition your pet to its travel container. We recommend leaving it open in the house with an old sock or other familiar object inside so that your pet will spend time in the kennel. It is important for your dog or cat to be as relaxed as possible during the flight.
What can I send with my pet?
You may send a couple of thin blankets or towels. We also recommend that you supply a t-shirt that you've been wearing to provide a smell of home and owner to relax the pets.
We are quite limited to what we can send with your pet in the travel box. Unfortunately we cannot send thick, large or bulky blankets/beds, food bowls, more than 1-2 portions of dry food.
