  Pet transporting for a dog or cat can be very stressful on the pet. I have been told by many breeders , that after an airline trip for many hours, two delays, the puppy arrived to the new owner with diarrhea. The puppy left the owners home, before the pet transport with formed stools. Many breeders have told me that they give their pets a sedative given to them by their  vet! With ground pet transport, no sedative is needed, nor will Pawnsclaws.org pet transport accept a dog that is medicated. During the winter months, most airlines , including Delta and American will not accept dogs after mid November.

  Ground pet transport is really a much safer option, especially when the temperatures are extremely cold or hot. To ship a puppy via an airline pet transport service, you must provide a health guarantee that the dog is acclimated to temps above 85 degrees or so in the summer. Again, how many puppies or kittens, beloved house pets stay in almost 90 degree weather for long? No reputable breeder, dog owner or rescue allows their fur baby in the almost 90 degree weather for long! Even if they are outside dogs, they have a dog house, shade tree, etc to keep them cool. This is why ground pet transport is so much easier on your animal.

Thanks Tab Barkley of Pawsnclaw.org, a pet transport service that keeps your fur baby warm in the winter and cool in the summer!

The second way is to use the services of a company that takes care of shipping your pet for you. Such as a ground transportation service.

A huge number of dogs and other pets have become injured, lost, or even die on during airplane travel. Compared to the amount of successful animals taken from one location to another on the airplanes, this amount is low…But it only takes one accident to change your life forever when your pet dog becomes seriously hurt or dies because of not preparing before traveling.

The following are a few tips to adhere to when you’re traveling with your dog:

Choose the Fastest Airline Route

Search for a flight that will make the trip for your pet dog the fastest and easiest possible.  Take extra time and search all of the options available to you.  Ask questions, for example, ask the airline which flight time is the fastest.

Also, don’t take flights that do not fly directly to your destination. The reason why? Some dogs get transported to the wrong airplane and arrive in a completely different location than the intended destination. Worse yet – they never make it back to its dog owner.

Select Flight Times During The Morning Or Evening

As far as comfort for your pet dog go, try hard in selecting a flight that is either during the early morning hours or early evening time. Why? These are the best times during the day in which your pet dog will experience ultimate comfort and comfortable temperatures. Avoid flying your pet during extreme weather climates that are too hot or too cold. Remember, he will be stuffed down in the cargo area.

Dogs Should Fly With You In The Cabin and NOT The Cargo Area

It may seem like sensible to advise this tip; however, it does happen at times where puppies are loaded in a crate and cannot contain themselves during the flight that well. Make sure that you fly your puppy with you in the cabin area so that you can keep him comfortable as possible and bring along small treats and affection.

Remember, a puppy’s early weeks in life is a vital time in its life. Everything that your puppy experiences, gets embedded in his memory. It’s referred to as socialization and a frightening flight that keeps a puppy in a continuous state of shock and fear during a flight on end may have horrifying results that could last a lifetime for your puppy.

There are different types of  dog transportation crates available out there to choose from but the one thing that should be at the top of your mind is how comfortable your dog will be in the dog crates during the dog transportation process. If you buy small dog crates for larger dogs then your dog might feel uncomfortable and even suffocated and this will not only affect his temperament but also make him grumpy. Most of the transport dog crates have been created keeping in mind the requirement of dogs of different sizes.

While picking out dog crates, you need to take into consideration the height as well as the length of your dog. You should keep in mind that the dog crates for dogtransportation should be big enough for your dog to lie down and even stand up without having to duck his head. He should also be able to lie down without feeling cramped. If you have a puppy then you can always buy wire dog crates with a dog kennel divider panel. The main advantage of having a divider panel is that it will add more versatility to the dog crates as well as help you save money. Using the divider panel, you can adjust the size of the dog  transportation crates according to the growth of your puppy.

There are different types of  dog transportation crates available but they can all be classified into three primary groups:

Plastic Dog Crates: The plastic transport dog crates are mostly made from durable polypropylene and have chrome plated steel doors as well as chrome-plated ventilation side panels. These dog crates also have a leak-proof bottom. One of the best things about plastic crates is that they can be assembled without tools and go together in minutes. They are great for housebreaking puppies and the bottom half can be used alone as a pet bed. Plastic dog crates offer the dog privacy and are the only dog kennel approved for airline travel.

Metal Dog Crates: Metal dog crates provide the strength and durability serious gundog owners look for when selecting a dog transport box. Our metal dog crates are pre-assembled and ready to transport your hunting dog in the back of your pick-up truck or SUV. When selecting a metal dog box you should select a model large enough for your puppy or dog to stand up, turn around, and lie down with a water bowl.

Wire Dog Crates: Wire dog crates are easy to clean, having a tough rust-proof ABS plastic pan which slides out for easy maintenance. These dog cages provide maximum ventilation and security. Portable dog crates have the advantage of being able to fold-down to a suitcase size for easy storage and portability.
