Pet Tote

Can you take small pets on the plane with you?

I'm going to Florida soon, and I was wondering would it be able to put my two kittens in a pet carry bag in the plane with me. They are so small, and I will not leave them at home while I'm on vacation. Is there usually a fee have to pay? Any help would be good! I need information on a vet? I adopted the kittens from a cat friends. Do I have to obtain certificates from the vet? Are they expensive? I am flying from one state to another, staying at home

Hello! there ... to fly interstate (state to state), your kittens should be a minimum age of 8 weeks and the air and state health officials that the animals require air travelers to have a problem veterinarian health certificate for each cat 10 days before departure, and a rabies vaccination is usually required as well. The price of certification is $ 5.25 depending on the vet. Sure to maintain the health certificates with you at all times, as well as labels and proof of rabies vaccination documents. In addition to federal regulations, each airline has its own rules, so check the individual airlines rules before booking a flight for you and your cat. It is ideal if the kittens may travel in the aircraft cabin with you that will not leave your care during the course of the trip. However, not all airlines allow animals to travel in the cabin and other not allow more than two cats in the cabin per flight on a "first come, first served basis so it is important to make these arrangements well before your departure date. If the airline you choose does not allow travel in the cabin, but only load, be aware that there are regulations regarding the temperature range (too hot or too cold) when a pet can be sent. If the temperature in the ground at its output, the connection or destination of the city falls outside these limits, can run on unexpected delays or cancellations. It is also advisable to avoid peak holiday travel when traffic is heaviest. Most the airlines charge fees for every kitten travel based on the weight of the animals and if you travel in the cabin or cargo, the amounts are different. Rates are quoted in one-way so you have to buy another ticket for them on the return flight in advance as well. The travel approval of USDA box should be used that is suitable for the comfort of pets, but within regulation size to fit under the seat on the plane too. All containers must be clearly marked with highly visible live animals abroad and home phone number and destination address and contact number. Please see the link below to know the restrictions for each carrier. Homeland Security is constantly updated travel restrictions and also call the airline to ensure these guidelines have not changed since they have been written http://www.catsunited.com/html/air_line_travel.html
