Flying Internationally With Your Dog? Here’s What To Know
Before you buy those plane tickets, here’s what you need to know, and how to save the most money doing it.
Few things are more laced with guilt than the eyes of a dog as they watch you pack for a trip. They know you’re leaving, and they know you’re not taking them with you. Kids, spouse, friends, none of it compares to how a dog makes you feel when closing the front door and heading out to the airport.
Wouldn’t it be so much easier if you could just take that furry little friend with you?
Well, as someone who has traveled to several international destinations with my dogs, I’ll tell you there isn’t anything easy about it. If you’re going to be gone for a couple of days, or even a few weeks, leave the pup at home and find a quality dog-sitter.
But if you’re leaving for several months? Or even moving overseas? Well, that’s a different story. So if you’re hellbent on taking that furry little friend with you, here are some tips, tricks, and suggestions for you to help make the entire journey safer, easier, and far less expensive.
