Take care of the comfort of your mustachioed "passenger"

Airlines around the world offer services to transport cats and dogs in the cabin, but each of them has its own rules and requirements that must be taken into account when purchasing tickets.

Typically, requirements vary regarding the size of cat crates, so measure the dimensions of your carrier before you fly to make sure it meets your airline's requirements.

The main thing is that the cage is spacious enough and provides your pet with comfort during the flight - the cat should be able to move freely, lie down and stand up to its full height.

Get a medical examination

Like people, cats need to go through passport control before flying. This will require a veterinary passport for the animal.

A certificate from a veterinarian in the prescribed form may also be required.

It is recommended to start preparing for the flight at least two months before the planned departure date. During this period, it is necessary to undergo deworming, get the necessary vaccinations and undergo quarantine.
