Dog Travel
"Your husky loves to
travel"
When traveling with your
pet...have a health certificate, proper Identification and medical record with you. Dog travel requires good
advance planning and preparation.
Car Travel...not all dogs like to travel and if your pet is not
familiar travelling in your vehicle, take some short trips and slowly build up to longer journeys.
Be sure to use proper restraints when your dog travels in a vehicle. Many
companies now make seat belt systems and travel crates. A dog crate is considered the most popular investment to
keep your pet safe. A car travelling 35 miles per hour can add 30 pounds at impact on your dog in an accident. Keep
your pet safely secured while you travel on the road.
Do not leave your dog locked in a car. In 70 degree weather it takes very little
time for the temperature to climb into triple digits. Leaving the window down several inches does not provide
enough ventilation. Many states are now passing laws prohibiting leaving your dog alone in a vehicle. In extreme
temperatures it is best to leave your dog at home.
Many hotels welcome pets...so do your research and make sure your "loved one" has
a place to spend the night. Use proper dog etiquette while visiting a "dog friendly" hotel. Many previous "dog
friendly" hotels no longer accept pets due to the previous bad behavior of others. Clean up after dog walks and
keep your dog on a leash at all times. Do not leave your dog unattended in the hotel room as dog barking is always
a big complaint by other guests...
Air Travel...airlines have different procedures for transporting
pets. Travel costs will also vary between the airlines.
If there is a risk of airline delays...this should be a consideration as your dog
can be caged in the cargo holds in extreme weather conditions for long hours. In these cases, you should consider
leaving your pet at home.
Traveling Abroad...the requirements of the country you want to travel can make the
decision for you. Some countries such as Great Britain require quarantines that can last 6 months or
longer.
Canada and Mexico require you to show proof of vaccination. Canada requires proof
of rabies vaccination within the past 3 years. Mexico requires proof of vaccination within the past year. Hawaii
law requires quarantine for your pet for 6 months.
Many airlines allow small dogs in approved crates, to travel with the passenger in
the cabin of the plane.
