Know Rules and Regulations and Ensure Compliance For Safe Air Travel With Your Pet Dog

Carry your dog along with you when you travel and make sure you comply with regulations and have fashionable dog carriers for your dog.

If you are relocating to another country or to another State in the US, you would naturally wish to take your dog along with you. If you are going on a brief or extended vacation it just does not seem right to leave your loved dog, which is a family member, in a foster home for dogs.

It is best to prepare well in advance if you wish to take your dog along with you when you fly off to some destination within or outside the States. There are reasons. For instance, should one wish to travel to California with their dogs then there are regulations? The dog must be healthy and must be over 4 months of age. He should have a certificate for rabies vaccination and a certificate of veterinary inspection at the very least. Each State has its own regulations so it is wise to get more detailed information from USDA.
