On the road with animals Automatic translate

It’s time for the holidays, which means you will have to leave your pet alone at home. Or take it with you. You just need to know how to do it correctly, prepare carriers for cats and dogs, food, documents.

It is advisable to teach your pet in advance to carry, muzzle, leash, crowded places. Then you will not have any special problems on the road.

Airplane. Flight is one of the most exciting ways for animals to travel. All pets must be placed in the airbox. Sometimes it is allowed to take a carrier with you, in other cases the carrier provides it. Small dogs are allowed in the salon with their owners. But at the same time, carrying dimensions cannot exceed one hundred and eighty centimeters. If your pet is larger, you will need to check it in. Don’t worry: there is an insulated luggage compartment on board.

The container has special requirements. If the dog gets up, there should be at least ten centimeters of free space on top. Do not feed your pet before the flight, but be sure to walk and drink.

A train. The railway has its own strict requirements. Carrying is required. Small pets can be taken with you, but large ones are offered to be placed in a separate compartment. In this case, the owner will have to redeem all the seats, even if he is traveling alone. Take a muzzle and leash for your dog. Be aware of pet hygiene, otherwise your neighbors in the carriage will have complaints.

Documents. Interestingly, an animal needs more documents to travel than a person.

Ticket. It is almost always necessary to pay for the pet’s travel by purchasing a separate ticket.

Veterinary passport. It contains information about the breed, name, age, owner. The main thing is about the vaccinations received, including those against rabies. The passport should contain a mention of the recently carried out treatment for external and internal parasites - deworming. Moreover, all this must be done no earlier than a month before the trip.

Reference. Valid for three days only. To obtain it, contact any veterinary clinic or station in your neighborhood. There the animal will be carefully examined.

Chip. It is a small pea injected under the skin. Thoroughbred animals must be chipped from birth. By the chip you can find out all the information about your pet.

Export permit. It indicates that the animal can be exported abroad for a while, since it does not represent breeding value. Permits are issued by canine organizations and service dog breeding clubs.

Other means of transportation. In addition to rail and air traffic, there are other options for transporting animals.

Metro. Carriage is allowed only in carriers or in special containers. It is unacceptable for a large dog to walk freely in lobbies, crossings or subway cars. There are cases when the owners went down with their pets to the subway, and those paws got stuck on the steps of the escalator. Ask the consultants of the specialized store vkuskorma.ru what other items you may need to carry.

Car. The animal must not be allowed to move inside the cabin. A small dog or cat can be carried in a carrier, while a large dog is best kept on a leash.

Electric train. Do you want to ride with your pet to the country? You will have to purchase an additional ticket at the box office. Large dogs are transported in a vestibule with a muzzle and a short leash. For small ones, there is a carrier.

Whichever travel option you choose, the main thing is to provide comfort for both the animal and yourself. Don’t forget about the needs of other passengers. If you are traveling by your own car, and you have such an opportunity, stop and go outside more often. Otherwise, try to make the journey take as little time as possible. And then everyone will be happy.
