subject: Shipping Pets Is Simple If You Call The Right Person [print this page] Taking your pet cross country is worrying if you don't want them to endure a long drive. Flying is a better and easier option.
When travelling with a pet, driving cross country up to Canada from Arizona, you've probably thought before that flights from Phoenix to Toronto would have been a smarter option, but then dismissed the option due your thoughts about how difficult it must be to transport animals on planes, and how much hassle it must all be.
But whether you want to take you pets to Disneyland on flights from Pittsburgh to Orlando or to the other side of the coast on flights from Oakland to Portland, you can easily transport the animal. It may cost a little more than you expect, but you and your pet will be able to reach your destination much quicker than when you choose to travel by car or bus.
By calling the airline you'll be able to find out exactly how you can ship an animals, and exactly what you need to do to make it happen. Usually you need to buy a container for the animal to travel in, as pets are not allowed to be in the cabin, unless you have a private jet of course. The airline will be able to advise you what size container the pet will need, what shots or vaccines the animal will need to have to travel, and the representative of the airline will also be able to tell you how much it'll cost if you estimate the weight.
If you don't know what to do when you get to the airport then you'll need to call the airport. They'll be able to tell you where the animals go before they get put on the plane, how you can give the animal food and water while they wait, and so on. Shipping pets is easy!
