On the road with animals Automatic translate

It’s time for the holidays, which means you’ll have to leave your pet at home alone. 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 accustom your pet to a carrier, muzzle, leash, and crowded places in advance. Then you won’t have any problems on the road.

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

There are special requirements for the container. If the dog stands up, there should be at least ten centimeters of free space on top. Before the flight, do not feed your pet, but be sure to take it for a walk and give it a drink.

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

Documentation. Interestingly, an animal requires more documents to travel than a person.

Ticket. It is almost always necessary to pay for your 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 you have received, including against rabies. The passport must contain a mention of recently carried out treatment against 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. Purebred animals are required to be microchipped from birth. Using the chip you can find out all the information about your pet.

Export permit. It states that the animal can be exported abroad for a while, since it does not have breeding value. Permission is issued by cynological organizations and service dog breeding clubs.

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

Metro. Transportation is permitted only in carriers or special containers. It is unacceptable for a large dog to roam freely in lobbies, passages or subway cars. There are known cases when owners went down the subway with their pets, and their 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.

Automobile. The animal must not be allowed to move around inside the cabin. A small breed dog or cat can be placed in a carrier, but a large dog should be kept on a leash.

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

Whatever travel option you choose, the main thing is to ensure comfort for both the animal and yourself. Be mindful of the needs of other passengers. If you travel in your own car and have the 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.
