10 Tips for Flying Safely with Your Cat
Flying can be feline friendly with some preparation and planning. Use these tips to help ensure a smooth flight when you next fly with your cat.
- Never fly your cat in cargo. Make sure to book a flight that will allow your cat to be in the cabin with you.
- Check with your veterinarian to be sure your cat is healthy enough to travel.
- Check that your carrier fits the airline’s requirements, and that your cat can stand, sit, lie down and turn around in the carrier.
- Confirm that any hotels where you’ll be staying allow cats.
- Be sure that your cat is wearing an easy-to-read ID tag on his collar. Check that your cat’s microchip is up-to-date.
- Try to book a direct flight to minimize stress for your cat.
- Ask your vet how often you should offer your cat food, water and access to the litter box while you’re en route to your destination.
- If your cat needs special food or medicines, pack extra to avoid emergencies.
- If your cat tends to be easily stressed, talk to your vet about possible medical help.
- Exercise, feed and provide water to your cat before starting your trip.
