Even if air travel will get you to your destination quickly, it is not the best way to transport your pet. The Humane Society recommends that pets should be transported by airplane only when it is absolutely necessary. Traveling by plane is particularly risky for brachycephalic dogs such as Pugs and Bulldogs. They are especially susceptible to oxygen deprivation and heat stroke because of their short nasal passages. If you really need to travel with your pet, try to consider all alternatives to flying. If you must fly your pet, get in touch with airline companies and ask whether they allow pets to travel in the cabin with their owners. There are airlines that allow pet owners to travel with their pet in the cabin for an additional charge. Calling the airline and making arrangements in advance will help ensure less problems or hassles on the day of the trip. Make sure your pet’s health and vaccination records are updated by visiting your vet clinic Portage, MI before the trip.
