Frequently Asked Questions About Pet Relocation
What is a pet carrier?
A pet carrier is a portable container designed to safely transport pets of various sizes, including cats, dogs, rabbits, birds, and other animals, during travel. Pet carriers come in different types, such as soft body bags, hard body crates, and backpacks, to cater to specific needs like road trips, air travel, or outdoor activities. They provide comfort, ventilation, and security, ensuring pets remain safe and stress-free while traveling. For larger pets like adult dogs, IATA-compliant crates are commonly used for cargo air travel, while smaller pets may use soft or hard carriers suitable for in-cabin or road travel.
Can pets fly without a carrier?
No, pets are required to be in a suitable carrier to fly, whether in the cabin or cargo. Airlines have strict guidelines to ensure the safety and comfort of pets during air travel. The carrier must meet the airline’s size and design requirements for in-cabin or IATA-compliance for cargo. Always check specific airline policies before traveling.
