There are times when you have to visit your friends or relative in urgency without much time for planning. But what you are going to do about your pet would seem to be the only trouble you're facing. Either you leave your pet at home or you can choose to bring him with you. Traveling with your pet is easier than you think.
Air travel services are what you can use if you want to bring your pet with you. These services fall into two categories, in-cabin and cargo. Make sure that in-cabin pets are small enough in order for them to slide under the seat in front of you. If pets are too large to fit comfortably in a carrier then they must travel in cargo. Cargo holds are heated, cooled and pressurized, just like the passenger compartment.
It is better for you to check first before you make a reservation, be sure the airline will accommodate your pet. There are airlines that do not take pet in-cabin while some discount airlines don't accept pets at all. You need to make sure that your pet will be able to travel with you if you purchase your airline tickets through the Internet.
Whether traveling in-cabin or cargo, pet passengers require a reservation. In order to provide safe travel for all, airlines have restrictions on the number of pet they will carry. It is therefore a good idea to make your pet's reservation at the same time you purchase your ticket. Extra charges for both in-cabin and cargo pets will be assessed.
Purchase a health certificate from your veterinarian. You will have to purchase another health certificate for the return trip if your visit will be longer than 10 days because health certificates are only good for that number of days.
As mentioned, your in-cabin pet will need a carrier. Coming in several sizes are these soft-sided carriers so you can either buy or borrow one that allows your pet plenty of room. In order to make transport through the airport easier, some of these can be bought with wheels and these also reduce pet space under the airplane seat. Window and middle seats have more room underneath than aisle seats due to the seat configurations. For pets traveling in cargo, an airline-approved kennel is what they need. These are generally hard-sided, non-collapsible crates. If a sturdy crate is what you pet have, then it may double as a shipping kennel but you need to make sure it is airline approved.
According to most experts, tranquilizing your pet is not recommended. There is a soporific effect because of the motion of the airplane and it can cause pets and people to snooze. Once in the air you'll find that your pet will probably sleep. A word about training is appropriate here. By crate training your pet, he will then be a better traveler. There are many resources available that will show you how to accomplish this. Spending time training is something that will definitely pay off.
