Pet Shipping
When moving or traveling for vacation, shipping your small pet may be a good option to consider. If saving time is an issue and your pet trusts you to put him/her on a good flight, pet shipping can be a wonderful resource. Below are the most important key factors and requirements in pet shipping.

Properly Sized Kennel
Animals must have room to stand up, turn and walk around in their kennel. Undersized kennels should never be shipped and when in doubt use a larger kennel.

Food and Water
All kennels must have at least one food and water portion in a cup to provide the small dog is proper fed. Cups that are securely fastened to the kennel or dog carriers work better as opposed to snap on cups that tend to fall off and may cause shipments to be denied by the airline.

Address Label
All small dog carriers require a tag clearly stating the shipper’s name, address and telephone number. The tag should also include the consignee’s name, address and phone number.

Live Animal Labels
All kennels require a live animal label on the top of the kennel and with arrows pointing up on the back or side of the kennel.

Last Time Feed and Watered
All kennels or small dog carriers need to be marked with the last time the animal was fed and watered.

Health Certificate
Any small dog that is shipped are required to have two copies of their health certificate that is no more than ten days old. One copy must be attached to the air bill and the other copy attached to the kennel.

Acclimation Statement
If temperatures are above 85 or below 45 degrees en route between destinations, the kennel must have an acclimation statement from your veterinarian. When below 45 degrees the acclimation statement musts state the lowest temperature that the animal is accustomed to.
