Flying high with(out) Fido!

Arati Menon Carroll / Mumbai September 29, 2007

POOR PATCHES. All he wants to do is fly to his new home. Only, nobody will help him along his way.

No Sedation when Flying Pets!

By Pet Relocation | September 3rd, 2007
We are constantly asked about the use of Sedation or Tranquilizers when flying our customers' pets. The answer is simply, NO! It is the worse thing you can do to your pet when flying them.

According to American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), air transport of sedated pets may be fatal. Over sedation is the most frequent cause of animal deaths during airline transport and accounts for more than half of all deaths when flying. Except in unusual circumstances, veterinarians should not dispense sedatives for animals that are to be transported.
