指南与资源

您的宠物出行前,您需要了解的一切。

航空公司政策、航空箱尺寸、证件办理时间表、品种限制及安全标准——所有内容均由我们团队收集整理、持续更新并以简明易懂的语言呈现。

航空箱及宠物包尺寸

合适的宠物包,让您从登机口开始就省心。

过大的宠物包无法放入座位下方;过小的航空箱既是动物福利问题,也会导致货运被拒。提前量好尺寸,出行无忧。

How to Measure Your Pet

A

Length

Tip of nose to base of tail. Add 10 cm for crate length.

B

Height

Top of head (or ear tips if upright) to floor. Add 10 cm.

C

Width

Widest point (shoulders or hips). Add 10 cm.

IATA standard requires the crate to allow your pet to stand without touching the roof, turn around fully, and lie in a natural position.

Carrier Types

Soft-Sided Carrier

Max Weight
Up to 20 lb
IATA Status
Not IATA compliant

Best for in-cabin. Flexible dimensions often compress to fit under the seat. Approved by most carriers for pets under their weight limit.

Hard-Sided Carrier

Max Weight
Up to 25 lb
IATA Status
Not IATA compliant

More protective than soft-sided. Required by some airlines for in-cabin and accepted for cargo under 20 kg on select routes.

IATA Cargo Crate

Max Weight
Any weight
IATA Status
IATA LAR compliant

Required for all live animal cargo programs. Must allow the pet to stand upright, turn fully, and lie in a natural position without touching the roof.

不确定您的宠物包是否符合要求?

我们的礼宾团队可在您预订前,根据您所选航空公司的最新规格,对您的宠物包尺寸进行专业审核。

健康证明及相关文件

一个环节的疏漏,可能让整次旅程功亏一篑。

国际宠物出行证件是一套有严格截止日期的合规流程,而非简单的表格堆叠。哪怕健康证明提前一天开具,也可能在边境口岸完全失效。

Documentation Timeline

这正是我们礼宾团队所擅长处理的。

在服务启动的第一天,我们即为您的宠物制定专属目的地证件时间表,涵盖精确日期、您当地兽医的操作指引,以及所有政府部门的截止日期。

品种限制

两类限制,任何一类都可能让行程戛然而止。

航空公司的限制决定您的宠物能否搭乘该航班;而目的地国家的禁令则关系到宠物是否被允许入境,与所选航空公司无关。

完整品种适航指南

短鼻犬猫品种 + 国家入境禁令

您的宠物品种是否在受限名单上?

品种受限并不意味着出行无望。我们会对每笔预订进行预先筛查,并经常能够找到替代承运方案或绕行路线。

目的地国家要求

每个目的地都有其独特的规定。

入境要求从一份简单的健康证明到长达六个月的检疫准备流程不等。我们的目的地指南将为您提供全面详尽的信息。

安全标准

我们坚守的标准,以及背后的原因。

七年来100%的安全记录绝非偶然,而是源于严格执行的专业规范——这些规范许多运输服务商因嫌麻烦而从未采用。

7°C–29°C 温度安全区间

每一批活体动物托运,我们都会全程监测停机坪温度、货舱气候数据及出发机场状况,确保全程处于安全温度区间内。一旦预测温度在旅程任何阶段(登机、停机坪等候或运输途中)超出此范围,我们将立即暂停该航线并重新安排行程。正因如此,即便航空公司本身尚未实施限制,我们仍会主动对途经波斯湾、美国西南部及其他高温走廊的航线执行夏季货运禁运规定。

我们绝不使用镇静剂。

美国兽医学会(AVMA)及国际航空运输协会(IATA)均明确禁止在航空运输中对动物使用镇静剂。在高空飞行时,镇静剂对呼吸系统和心血管系统的抑制作用会显著增强,而货舱内根本无法对此进行有效监测。一旦处于镇静状态的宠物出现并发症,它将完全无法自我调节。若客户坚持要求使用镇静剂,我们将拒绝接受预订;对于会为航空运输开具镇静剂的兽医,我们亦不予合作。

货舱的真实情况

现代宽体飞机的货舱与客舱采用相同标准加压,温度亦控制在7°C至29°C之间。货舱噪音高于客舱,且无法与机组人员保持视觉接触。因此,我们对所有货运托运优先选择直飞航班而非中转航班。中转意味着每次转机都会引入额外的操作风险,为此我们会预先审核货运航线所有中转机场的地面服务商资质。

优先选择直飞航班

无论是随身携带还是货舱托运,我们始终建议将飞行段次降至最低。每一次中转都是一个潜在的风险节点:错过转机、停机坪延误、操作失误等问题随时可能发生。如果直飞航班会延长三小时,我们依然会选择直飞。若中转实属不可避免,我们将筛选配备持牌动物临时寄养设施的机场,确保至少90分钟的中转衔接时间,并提前确认地面服务商。
