The thought weighing most heavily on any pet lover’s mind when it comes time to fly their pet is “Will they be safe?”

When working with the right airlines, all of these cargo holds are insulated, climate controlled, pressurized and most of them even have slightly dimmed lights. This allows the animal to travel in comfort, just as we do sitting above in the cabin.

PetRelocation.com has worked with various airlines to help develop programs to make them more pet-friendly. Many of the fears surrounding pet transportation stem from owners putting pets on planes without knowing the correct ways to prepare their animals, or the correct aircraft to use for their precious cargo. And while airlines do their best to prevent these mishaps, for the most part, air carriers are still set up primarily to ship just luggage. Choosing the wrong airline can cause a grave mistake.

This is another important reason to trust the PetRelocation specialists, as they have extensive knowledge on the safest ways to fly pets under the circumstances of varying temperatures, aircraft, and airlines.

When working with pet shipping companies like ours, we work with the airlines on loading/unloading the pets separately from the rest of the cargo. This basically means that your pets will never sit on the tarmac, as the airlines will shuttle them to/from the plane when its time for them to load/unload - rather than sending them with the general cargo.

The best option when traveling long distances is to have your pet crate trained and flown on a pet friendly airline, with a professional company like ours watching every step along the way!

When you have your pet crate trained and comfortable in their crate, it becomes their safe and secure traveling room. They are happy to be in their safe and secure environment, no matter where they are.

If you think about it from the pet's perspective, they are in their secure traveling crate and they do not know they are flying in a plane. To them, they are being placed into a special area that may shake a bit on take off and landing - but other than that, the pets are simply waiting for that individual who put them there, to come and open that door so they can enjoy their new location. Little do they know, that its not the same location they left from!

All in all, it makes for one stress free journey for your pet!
