Pet Care Services in Austin: Flying Cross Country with Pets

Pet Care Austin
Pet care services in Austin can be very helpful if you’re moving cross-country from Austin and need to fly with your pet. If you’re relocating cross-country, moving with animals can be difficult. Pet relocation services are helpful.
Pet care services in Austin aren’t necessary when flying with one small pet. You may be able to bring your pet into the cabin. The pet carrier must be able to fit under the seat (like a piece of luggage). You will need to purchase a ticket for your pet. It’s a small price to be able to see your pet’s condition during the flight.
If you have sufficient money, using pet care services for professional pet relocation is a wonderful luxury. These pet care services offer a variety of choices you may select according to need. The super deluxe service will pick up your animals at your residence in a climate-controlled vehicle, take them to the vet for examinations then travel with them to the airport.
Your pets will be checked in at the airport by the pet care service and be given pet friendly on-board accommodations. At the end of the flight, your animal will be picked up and delivered to your door.
Whether your pet is flying in the cabin with you, in the cargo hold or via a pet relocation service there are important safety tips you should follow to ensure your pet’s wellbeing:
·         Never sedate your pet prior to flying. Airlines will refuse sedated animals. It is dangerous for your pets health to fly sedated
·         Make sure your pet has plenty of water before, during and after the flight.
·         Make sure your animal is healthy (vet certificate required for the flight) and ensure all medications have been given
·         Do not feed your pet prior to flight
·         Do not place hard objects in the animal’s travel crate.
·         Check regulations for the precise size and type of crate necessary for your breed and size of animal
·         Allow your animals to become familiar with the crates prior to travel. Let them spend time at home in the crate
·         Exercise your dog prior to leaving for the airport
·         Keep your pet as calm as possible.
·         Leave for the airport early. Do not run late and stress your pet.


If you follow all the above rules, your pet should arrive safely at your new destination. Using pet relocation services is a great way to begin a new life.
