A favourite toy or blanket should help it feel at home in a strange environment. Give only a light meal to your pet a few hours before flight departure. Most pets are house trained and do not wish to soil their bedding. It is therefore kinder not to give them too much food. If the flight duration is over 12 hours, water needs to be provided, but care should be taken not to overfill the water container.
Water is checked before loading and during transit stops.
Pets travel very well and do not usually need a sedative. If sedation is required, it must only be carried out under strict veterinary supervision and the details clearly shown on the pet 's container. Puppies and kittens must be at least 10 weeks old and must be weaned and able to eat on their own. Cats and dogs up to the sixth week of pregnancy can be carried. However, they must have a veterinary certificate confirming the pregnancy and that the pet is fit to travel.
