Know Before You Go: Essential Pet Travel Preparations
-
Research Regulations: Animal import regulations vary by country. Ensure you have all the necessary documentation, including vaccinations, health certificates, and import permits. Lufthansa's website offers a handy tool to help you navigate these requirements for your specific destination [link to tool on Lufthansa website].
-
Choose the Right Container: Select a pet carrier that meets International Air Transport Association (IATA) guidelines, which typically include size and weight limits. Ensure the carrier provides ample space for your pet to stand, turn around, and lie down comfortably. Consider factors like ventilation, temperature control, and ease of access to food and water.
-
Microchip Matters: Ensure your pet is microchipped with a scannable ISO-compliant microchip. This ensures that your pet can be easily identified and reunited with you in case of separation during travel.
-
Prepare Your Pet for Takeoff: Before taking off, familiarize your pet with its carrier. Line it with comfortable bedding and include familiar toys or a favourite blanket. For anxious pets, consult your veterinarian for calming aids.
