Pet shipping- Recommendations for a comfortable journey of your beloved pet:

• Let your pet get habitual to the kennel (the crate) before it travels. Five days are usually enough for your pet to adjust to the kennel (the crate) environment.

• Animals can get airsick too. Give your pet a small meal the evening before it travels and no later than 12 hours before the flight.

• Within 4 hours of departure, do not give your pet anything to drink.

• Make sure that your dog or cat goes to the toilet before it travels.

• Fix a label with the animal’s name and feeding instructions (preferably in English) on the side of the kennel.
