Traveling with older pets can be a concern, but with proper preparation and care, it can be a smooth experience. At Paws en Route, we specialize in pet relocation, including international pet transport and pet shipping within Canada, ensuring the safety and comfort of pets of all ages.
Before any travel, especially international pet flights, it is crucial to get a comprehensive health check-up for your pet. Older pets may have underlying conditions that need attention. Our IPATA pet shippers coordinate with veterinarians to ensure all health requirements are met.
Opt for pet-friendly airlines such as WestJet pets. Understanding the WestJet pet fee and their specific guidelines for pets on WestJet ensures a seamless journey. Paws en Route handles all the logistics, making sure your pet’s travel complies with airline regulations.
Use an airline-approved travel crate that allows your pet to move comfortably. The crate should be well-ventilated and secure. Paws en Route provides guidance on selecting the appropriate crate for your pet.
Ensure your pet is well-hydrated and has eaten a light meal before travel. Avoid heavy meals close to departure time to prevent discomfort during the flight.
Carry any necessary medications your pet may need. Paws en Route assists with all necessary documentation, ensuring compliance with international regulations, making international pet shipping stress-free.
For added peace of mind, choose flights with shorter durations and fewer layovers. Our team at Paws en Route tracks the flight and provides updates, ensuring your pet’s well-being throughout the journey.
Upon arrival, give your pet time to acclimate to the new environment. Ensure they have access to water, food, and a comfortable resting area.
Traveling with older pets requires extra care and preparation, but with Paws en route, you can rest assured that your pet’s needs are prioritized. Our pet relocation services in Canada and internationally are designed to provide the best care for your furry companions, ensuring a safe and comfortable journey. Furthermore, we also recommend working with our partners at Atlas Van Lines if you are moving locally or even internationally!
