How to fly with a dog or a cat?

The requirements for air travel with a pet are not all the same according to the airline, but the basic principles are similar.

Weights 

If your pet weighs between four and six pounds of -depending compagnies- you can keep it with you in the cabin. Beyond that, it is towards the hold. Do not worry, the animals are placed in cages designed and bunkers are heated, ventilated and pressurized. If he can come in the cabin, your pet will be in a basket or a box and stay on your lap or at your feet. The wealthy can always buy him a place dedicated, but he can not walk through the halls. Note that some companies only accept service animals in the cabin. So remember to find out before you take your ticket and mention that you are traveling with Medoro. And if the animal cage and weigh more than 75 pounds, it will have to travel by freight.

How much does that cost? 

Again, it depends on the company. Some set the price according to weight. If you take two suitcases and that your dog is a mastiff, there is a good chance that the addition is salty. At Air France, the price is fixed. It is 20 euros for a single ticket in France, 75 euros for Europe and North Africa and up to 200 euros if you bring your cat in Australia. For service animals, most companies practicing free travel.

Precautions

Before you fly with a cat or dog, consider updating their vaccines and remember their health record and possibly their European passport. Do not forget to seek advice from your veterinarian that the trip takes place in the best conditions. Sedatives are possible. Finally, note that all animals are not accepted. Dogs and cats that are pregnant or aggressive animals are often refused. Birds, even caged, are rarely accepted in the cabin. Ditto for rodents that are placed in the hold mostly.
