When the owner of a dog goes on a trip abroad, there is an important choice before him: leave the pet at home or take it with you. There is not always a person who is willing to take care of the dog during your absence, and not every dog will want to stay with strangers. Do not despair - most airlines today do not mind transporting animals. However, it must be carried out under all safety rules. Let's talk about accessories such as carrying a dog to an airplane.
Types of Carrying
The capacity for a comfortable stay of your dog in an airplane may differ depending on a number of factors:
- The material of manufacture - it can be an aluminum cage with a door-lattice, a convenient plastic basket or a soft tissue bag-a carry-over for small dogs in an airplane.
- Size - agree that the carriers for the sheepdog and chihuahua a priori will be different. Dimensions can range from a miniature backpack for dwarf dogs to large enough enclosures, where you can transport several animals at once (usually they travel in the luggage compartment).
- The character of the animal - for active animals, which behave in a restless manner in transport, will need to be carried with a lock, while a calm animal will feel good in a normal carrying bag.
To carry over, the official requirements of the International Association of Carriers are also made. In accordance with them, the container must be sufficiently spacious for the animal of this breed. The access of air to the dog container is also one of the mandatory conditions, and the bottom of the container must be covered with absorbent material (for example, a disposable absorbent diaper). By the way, dogs can not be transported in wooden boxes.
You can buy a carry-over for dogs in the cabin of the aircraft in the pet store or directly at the airport.| | | |
