Natasha replied to BenjiBoy's topic in Let's Talk About our Furry and Feathered Friends
How large is large? Airlines have upper limits...... friends had to pay a person to transport by vehicle their Great Dane to Florida a while ago because airline said crate that dog would have required to meet their specifications for that size dog was too large. If needed, send me an email. I can get more info re: ground travel.- 1 reply

Bone Voyage is doing a great job flying dogs NOB. They are in a great need of large airline approved dog kennels. If you have any kennels you no longer need please donate so more dogs will be able to travel to their new homes. Cari 331-705-0466 Ronni 333-967-8696

Luvsdawgs is right. "Only Dogs Count as Service Animals on Planes, US Rules". Yes there are additional restrictions on what counts as a service animal. No more free flights for emotional support lizards or cats or cute little dogs who are "emotional support" animals without any training or certification. This relates only to animals who were flying free as support animals and who often didn't meet the qualifications of animals who can fly in-cabin on a plane. Pets can still fly in-cabin as long as they meet the airline's qualifications and pay for the privilege.

A feral momcat gave birth to 5 kittens in my bodega, and I found homes for three of them, and decided to adopt two and take them to the US. I have one old cat who travels with me by air. I asked a Volaris supervisor by phone if I could put 2 kittens in one carrier, seeing as they are so small. She said I could, as long as and the weight of the carrier plus kittens was less than 10 kilos, and they were at least 4 months old. I was overjoyed. So...I checked into Volaris at 4 AM on Thursday, having met all the conditions, and after being rudely scolded by the counter employees, was denied my flight. They did reschedule me for this Thursday. Of course, this IS the airline that charged me the full cat fare from GDL to MIA, after that cat suddenly died here in MX, and refused to give me a refund. I need to buy or borrow a smaller cat carrier, and can return in June or ago, when I come with my furniture. Can someone help me with this, please? I promise to return the carrier.

Flying with 3 dogs to Florida
Natasha replied to Hood's topic in Let's Talk About our Furry and Feathered Friends
Agree... check with the airline. Some won't take them if there are connecting flights involved. Some won't allow three with one person. Some won't take that at all in the heat of the summer. Some will be easier to deal with. And after you figure it all out be sure you have the correct health documentation in hand to present at the Guad airport or they will go no further. -
Getting a dog to British Columbia
musegirl replied to cedros's topic in Let's Talk About our Furry and Feathered Friends
Most airlines have a ban on flying pets in cargo until after May 24th due to heat restrictions. WestJet is your best carrier for pets into Canada however you would have to fly from PV direct to Vancouver after May 24th. Most airlines will not allow dogs on board over 21 pounds or 22 inches long unless they are a service dog. If you can get the dog a service certificate and a vest that says emotional support dog the airlines will allow it on board with some restrictions ie the animal needs to be very well trained and you must prebook this with the airline when you book your ticket.. If you need to fly now you can get yourself to the US San Antonio US airlines will fly the dogs from there however there is a connection in Houston then direct to Van. They have airconditioned cargo. Also be aware you must pre-book as most airlines will only take max 3 crates on a flight if in cargo . I am sure you already know this but ensure al of your paper work for pup is stamped by a vet within 7 days of flying, shots etc or they will not accept pooch into the country. -

Getting a dog to British Columbia
MtnMama replied to cedros's topic in Let's Talk About our Furry and Feathered Friends
Or, flying an animal in cargo is really not that bad. The hold is climate controlled and comfortable. Just be sure to check the temperatures (airlines won't fly animals in hot weather) at both ends of the flight and take a direct flight. Get a heavy-duty airline approved carrier, line the bottom with a couple of flat diapers, and get a clip on water container. Cut a small sponge to fit the water dish so the water doesn't splash all over the floor. NO food. Feed the dog several hours before the flight so it doesn't throw up on the flight. Back in the day when I was showing purebred cats, I flew cats all over - one to England, one to Germany - with no problems. -
Bone Voyage Dog Rescue
Natasha replied to nothernewbie's topic in Let's Talk About our Furry and Feathered Friends
If you had been here 20 plus years like I have, you would know that we have come a LONG way towards spay/neuter and education among Mexicans as to the "whys" and "hows". Years ago, you could not go a couple of blocks without seeing starving, mange-ridden dogs everywhere.... and even usually nocturnal (for safety) feral cats could be spotted scavenging food from time to time. So yes, those of us involved in animal activism have come a long way here... with further to go. We left Victoria (Canada) in the late 1990's. At that time, the local SPCA had been importing dogs from other parts of Canada for about 5 or 6 years because the local S/N programs were so successful there were LINEUPS for dogs. One Canadian airline even flew them at no cost from overpopulated parts of the country! So.... unless you've walked the walk, keep your criticism to yourself please.
