Familiarize your pet with the travel crate he /she will be traveling in a few days in advance of your trip. You must also reduce the amount of food you give your pet prior to the actual flight to avoid any potential gastrointestinal distress and help keep the travel crate free from waste. The primary concern during flight is adequate water intake to maintain proper hydration. As a standard rule suggested by the airlines and most vets, we will need to stop giving food around 05-06 hours before the flight departure and get the pet to do a nature's call before the flight departure. Pet will be comfortable when traveling with an empty stomach in order to avoid travel sickness and thus vomiting. However there will be a water bowl which needs to be affixed to the travel crate so the pet has a continuous supply of water (pet is hydrated at all times).
