What’s the best way to prepare my pet for air travel?

    To ensure a stress-free pet flight, follow these steps:

    Get your pet used to its IATA-approved travel crate at least two weeks before departure. This will allow you to crate train your pet reducing it stress at time of flight.
    Avoid feeding your pet 8–12 hours before the flight to prevent motion sickness or your pet soiling the crate.
    Attach a water bowl inside the crate and provide absorbent bedding.
    Use calming aids like pheromone sprays or natural anxiety medication.
    On the day of flight make sure you take your animal for a walk or play before placing them into the crate, have all the paperwork filled out, and ready for transport.
