Pet Travel Crate Preparation Checklist
Food
Pack enough food to last your pet 2-3 days in a sealed bag (e.g., Ziplock). Clearly label the bag with feeding instructions using a permanent marker or sticker (e.g., "1 cup 2x per day").
Toys
You can include soft toys for your pet, but do not include any hard toys/bones or toys made of rope/stringy material which may unravel and become a binding or suffocation hazard.
Feeding Instructions
We recommend keeping the same feeding schedule unless that results in a pooping schedule a couple of hours after flying. It’ll be uncomfortable to hold it in for the rest of the flight.
Comfort Items
Include bedding like a towel/sweater from home to provide familiar comfort. Ensure that it's doesn't take up too much space in the travel crate to cause your pet to be uncomfortable
Leash and Collar
Send a leash and collar with your dog (not necessary for cats). This will help any handlers who may need to move your dog. i.e. walking.
Other Items
You should show us/the airline any other items you might want to bring such as brushes, a sentimental toy etc so we can offer you advise on if and how to pack it.
Medications
Only bring veterinarian-prescribed medication. Place it in a Ziplock bag with clear instructions for use. Note that sedatives that would render your pet unresponsive to stimuli or hinder its motor skills is NOT allowed.
Health Documents
Bring all original health paperwork including rabies certificates, other required vaccinations and tests reports and prepare a copy for yourself and for us. The originals must travel together with your pet.
