How to transport pet dogs long distance? For air transportation, quarantine is required, consult with the airline two days in advance and reserve a space, prepare a special air box for the pet, provide drinking water, etc., and pick up the goods at the end of the trip; for rail transportation, you need to hold an animal quarantine certificate approved by the railroad transportation department, and consult with the local railroad freight department for the quarantine location. Air transportation: frequent flyers must have heard of, or personally experienced such things: after arriving at the destination, only to find that their luggage was sent to other places by mistake. In fact, there have been cases where pets have been sent to a different place unexpectedly when traveling randomly. In addition, since domestic airlines forbid passengers to bring their pets with them, the little ones who are left alone in the cargo hold must be in a state of shock and uncertainty. To avoid accidents and to make them a little more comfortable, please make sure you take the following advice. Get in place early: It is essential to check with the airline and book your cabin two days early. Since pets must be transported in an aircraft equipped with an oxygenated cargo hold, booking early and arriving at the cargo office three hours before takeoff will ensure that your pet arrives on the same flight as you. Avoid extrusion: First of all, you should prepare a strong and durable special airline box for transporting your pet. On the one hand, domestic airlines have certain requirements for the packaging of live cargo, and on the other hand, it is also for the safety of the pet itself. Then again, you can bundle a plastic product with tape on top of the air box to avoid the handling staff from pressing other items on the box. Provide drinking water: Almost all airline crates come with a water dispenser inside. You can put the filled water dispensers in the freezer first to freeze them into ice cubes, and then install them into the airline box when you get on the plane, so you don’t have to worry about water being spilled and your pet having no water to drink. Don’t change planes: As long as you don’t change planes during your trip, your pet will be much less likely to be mistakenly sent to a different location. If the plane you are on leaves late, you can ask the cargo office to send your pet into the cargo hold later to ensure its safety. Sedation: If your pet is easily stressed or irritated, consult your veterinarian first and purchase some sedatives to give him or her to help ease his or her mind. Rail transportation Except for a few cities, most domestic railroads allow consignment of pets, and the price will be much cheaper than air transportation. However, first you need to hold a certificate of animal quarantine approved by the railroad transport department, and the general cost of inspection is about 20 yuan. Please consult with your local railroad freight department for the quarantine location. Railroad transportation usually uses a more tightly closed luggage car, although the owner is allowed to go to take care of it, but still can not solve the problem of high temperatures in summer and severe cold in winter.
