its container and bedding. Sedating your pet is not advised, as this can stop them from being able to regulate their body temperature. No food should be put in their cages, only a water container, which the airline will check prior to departure and at any transit point. It is also best to use an absorbable type of lining for the carrier. You should familiarise your animal with the carrier before it travels so they associate it with a positive and comforting experience. Certain airlines allow small dogs and cats in the aircraft cabin, but most airlines transport them as special cargo or checked baggage in a temperature-controlled and ventilated hold. If your pet is allowed in the cabin, it is best to check in as late as possible. If it is going in the hold, check in early so that it can go to the baggage area and be put somewhere quiet to relax. To prepare your pet, the USDA recommends that your pet be offered food and water four hours before you check in. It’s advisable to take your dog for a walk before leaving for the airport and again before check in.
