Golden Retriever (confirm introduction)
In some special circumstances, owners will wear Take the dog with you on the train or plane. It is actually a very safe thing for dogs to fly. The flight time is not long, so you can avoid any accidents that may happen to your dog during this time. So, what preparations should you make when flying with your dog?
Dogs often cannot join the cabin with their owners, but with permission from the airline, service dogs such as guide dogs and hearing dogs can be kept in the cabin. How will the rest of the dogs fly? The answer is that small animals can be placed in the aerobic cabin of the flight as checked luggage.
The Civil Aviation Administration of China confirms that the small animals delivered by airlines refer to domesticated dogs, cats, birds or other ornamental pets, wild animals and physical remains Weird or injurious animals such as snakes cannot be transported as luggage, but they can be transported as cargo. In addition, most airlines have confirmed that they will not transport animals that are pregnant, lactating, or within 48 hours of giving birth.
Step 1: Carry out quarantine work and prepare valid certificates
Airlines will require passengers to provide animal quarantine certificates (valid health certificates and vaccination certificates) issued by health and quarantine departments at or above the county level. It should be noted that the validity period of the quarantine certificate is up to 7 days, so the waiting date must be within the validity period of the animal quarantine certificate. In addition, some airlines will also require passengers to prepare original dog health certificates and flight box disinfection instructions.
Step 2: Request cabin space
Before purchasing tickets, passengers need to confirm whether the flight they are traveling on allows dogs, that is, whether there is a live animal cargo compartment. Airlines have restrictions on the carriage of rare dogs such as cats and dogs. Passengers must book an aerobic cabin for their dogs and it is best to apply to the airline at least 3 days in advance.
If before the flight takes off, the airline arranges the aircraft to be a model that cannot carry small animals, then the passengers will have to give up the check-in or switch to other flights. It should be noted that if there are no turning points in the journey, the possibility of the dog being sent to a different place by mistake will be much smaller.
Step 3: Purchase a flight case
A solid, standard flight box is the guarantee for your dog to feel comfortable and safe on the plane. It can generally be purchased in dog shops for tens to hundreds of dollars. The flight box must meet the following requirements: 1. It can prevent animals from harming, escaping and extending out of the container; 2. It must maintain air circulation; 3. It can prevent the leakage of feces.
So a good flight box has a steel structure, with the chassis and sides surrounded by iron sheets, leaving only a ventilation opening at the top, and the opening can be fixed with lead wire. At the same time, a mat should be tied under the chassis to prevent the dog’s feces from being exposed and contaminating other people’s things. Passengers may wish to tie fixtures to the top of the flight box to prevent other things from squeezing the container.
Before traveling, let the dog get used to the flight box one week in advance, put his favorite snacks or toys inside, let him go in and out freely, and then try again after getting used to it. Close the door of the box so that it can adapt to life in the flight box and avoid being frightened or unsuitable after entering the airport.
Step 4: Preparation before boarding
Before traveling long distances, dogs need to have all their vaccinations to be safe. If the trip takes a long time, you can contact your veterinarian to see if you need to give your dog a sedative. In the cold winter, you can put on warm clothes for your dog to avoid freezing.
Dogs should fast at least 3 hours before boarding and do a good job of urinating. Dogs are prone to thirst when flying, so passengers need to secure a large enough drinking fountain (and some food) in the flight case. If your dog doesn’t know how to use it, it’s best to practice it in advance.
On the day of the flight, passengers need to arrive at the airport 2 hours in advance for processing. Please contact the service staff for the specific address. Although you don't want to let your dog go through the X-ray machine, you can let the security personnel use the detector used for humans to check. In addition, if your flight is delayed, you may wish to ask the cargo office to send the dog to the purchase cabin later.
Step 5: Handover
If the dog walks If it is a luggage consignment channel, then the person arrives and the dog arrives; if it is a cargo transportation channel, that is, the owner and the dog are not on the same plane, the passengers need to "turn over" as early as possible. The dog spent several hours of isolation and restlessness in the "little dark room", so the owner must check its condition and comfort it when handing over a pet.
