Planet host weighs in on pet travel: Air travel and car rides
Crossing the border with a pet can be complicated and daunting for pet owners. Animal Planet host Dan Schachner has been there too. “Bear in mind that certain things are going to be tricky- security for example might be a little bit tricky with the dog,” Schachner said on May 6. “You are going to have to remove the dog from the carrier and take it with you. TSA people will want to examine your pet. There are going to be some steps along the way where they are really going to scrutinize your animal and then the animal is going to have to go back into its carrier.”
Pet travel
will be more difficult when flying for many reasons but knowing airline
regulations can make the whole process go smoother. The pet will have to be in
a well ventilated crate or carrier of some sort. Schachner recommends allowing
the pet to get a lot of exposure to the carrier before the trip to make the
animal feel more at ease while travelling.
