There is a Shocking appeal from a flight attendant to pet owners: please don't leave your dogs behind!

It's believed that two million pets and livestock take commercial flights each year, with the vast majority traveling in the cargo hold.

A flight attendant has made an urgent appeal to pet owners who must fly this summer with their animals, given how stressful the experience may be for the animals.

If you checked your dog, there's about a 30% chance it's terrified before it even gets on the plane." Who knows how nervous it gets when it's really in the air.

Agents at the baggage claim area will often try to reassure a frightened animal, but they will ultimately be limited to words.

Is very important to also proposed a technique to make the trip more comfortable for our furry pals by suggesting that their owners identify them by name on the carrier."It usually helps a lot,

The flight attendant continued by saying that the cats in the luggage room clearly don't care, since she's never seen one go away.

Another airline employee added helpful insight, saying, "I work at an airport and have to check in big stuff and animals.

My number one piece of advice is to not check them in any sooner than necessary; Be sure to include enough food and water for your pet on the trip.

The second piece of advice is to choose a sufficiently large box. Although the extra expense may not be overlooked by the animals. A regulation states that the dog must have sufficient room to turn inside the box.

The third and most apparent piece of advice is to pack a water bottle and some snacks. Too many people around me don't do it, and that baffles me.

Don't bring them along unless absolutely necessary, unless you're doing a really lengthy trip, or unless the flight is quite short.

"Ninety percent of the time when I bring them to the elevator after the owner has gone, they begin acting irrationally and seem quite anxious.

"I know it all seems kind of obvious, but I've seen a lot of people not do these things, hope it helps!"

American Airlines allows guests to bring their dogs on board if the animals are within the airline's guidelines for size, age, and final destination.

If you pay a carry-on pet charge and keep your pet in its kennel beneath your seat for the duration of the journey, the airline will allow you to bring one kennel on board as a carry-on luggage.

You're allowed to bring a pet carrier and a single personal item on board with you, but no more carry-on bags are allowed. Instead, you may use the kennel as a carry-on item.

Your pet must travel with American Airlines Cargo if it is too big to fit in the cabin.

Remember that we can only accommodate service members of the United States Armed Forces and the United States Department of State who are traveling on official orders, and that the pet carrier must adhere to all checked-pet kennel rules.

If you don't check all of these boxes, your pet can't go on this trip with you. There are costs and limitations."

Assistance dogs are allowed on planes for free and must be seated next to or beneath their owner's seat.

What should I do if my cat has an accident in the bed?

Keep in mind that your pet is on an international trip with no opportunities for restroom breaks. Take your dog for a lengthy walk before boarding the plane so he or she doesn't have to hold their pee the whole journey.

It is very common for your pet to have to use the crate as a bathroom during the travel. Use puppy pads or an absorbent mat to line the kennel and catch any accidents. Petraveller Sky Beds, which are removable and washable, line all Petraveller crates to make sure your pet has a pleasant trip.

Towels and wet wipes can come in handy for drying up your pet once you pick it up from the airport. If you want to have your pet cleared and delivered via our partner firm, they will also offer a refreshment service. There are limits, however.

When I get there, what will happen to my pet?

Officials in the receiving country will conduct a health check and paperwork review upon arrival of your pet. After your pet has been examined, they will be sent to the quarantine facility if you are taking them to a country that requires quarantine, such as Australia. After all paperwork is finalized, you or a licensed pet relocation agency may get your pet from the quarantine facility.

An official will often examine your pet upon arrival to ensure it complies with all pet import requirements in countries without obligatory quarantine. Depending on the nation, these inspections might take anywhere from two to four hours. Once your pet has been given the all-clear, you may pick them up from the designated location and bring them home. A pet transport agency may come and get your pet from the airport if you are not taking it with you or if you would rather not wait.

Before booking your flight, double-check that your pet satisfies all import regulations. Incomplete paperwork or failure to complete all veterinarian requirements before flying with your pet can result in your pet spending more time in quarantine or, worse, being returned to the country of origin.
