FLYING WITH YOUR FUR
BABY Bringing your fur
baby for an adventure
can make your getaway
fun for the entire family
– with a little bit of
planning. Because while
you and your two-legged
companions may be well
versed in take-off and
landing protocols, your
pet likely isn’t. Use the
following tips to make
your pets (and your)
vacation a smooth one.
Check the Pet Policy. They vary from airline
to airline. As a pet-friendly airline,
Kenmore Air welcomes dogs and cats on
board. However, for the safety of its pas-
sengers, it limits one pet per flight. (See
website for additional restrictions.)
Review International Regulations. If you are
flying out of the country, pet immuni-
zation and a health certificate will likely
be required.
Make Reservations Over the Phone. You’ll
always want to make your pet’s reser-
vation before arriving at the airport to
ensure the airline can accommodate
your four-legged loved one.
Scope Out the Pet Area in Advance. While
making your reservation, be sure to ask
if there’s an area where your pet can
relieve themselves before the flight. This
is a great way to avoid any unwanted
accidents.
Have a Secure Leash. Always keep your pet
leashed while flying. Even the most
well-behaved animals can act unpredict-
ably in new situations. Having a secure
hold of them is essential to both their
safety and your own.
Try to Get Your Pet Some Exercise Before the
Flight. Just like for humans, exercise is
a great stress reliever for your pet. If
possible, take your pet on a walk prior
to the flight so that they—and you—can
expend some energy.
Plan for Water & Food. It’s not guaranteed
your destination will have a dog-friendly
restaurant, so plan accordingly by pack-
ing a food and water bowl, along with at
least enough food for one meal. Check
to make sure you can buy additional
food at your destination. If you are flying
somewhere remote, you may need to
bring enough food for the entire trip.
