10 Expert Tips for Flying with Your Pet Safely and Stress-Free | BALTCROW

Traveling with your furry friend can be both exciting and challenging. Whether you’re flying across the country or heading to a new adventure abroad, it’s important to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved throughout the journey. At BALTCROW, we believe pets deserve the same comfort we do — especially when traveling.

1. Choose a Pet-Friendly Airline

Before booking your flight, check each airline’s pet policy. Some allow small pets in the cabin, while others require cargo transport. Always review carrier size limits and fees ahead of time.

2. Visit Your Veterinarian

Schedule a check-up to ensure your pet is healthy and fit for air travel. Ask for updated vaccinations, health certificates, and motion-sickness advice if needed.

3. Choose the Right Carrier

Invest in a high-quality, airline-approved pet carrier that’s well-ventilated, secure, and comfortable. BALTCROW offers durable pet travel carriers designed for comfort and safety.

4. Help Your Pet Get Used to the Carrier

Let your pet spend time inside the carrier at home before the flight. Add familiar blankets or toys to create a cozy, stress-free space.

5. Pack the Essentials

Bring food, collapsible bowls, pee pads, a leash, waste bags, and a favorite toy. Don’t forget your pet’s documents and identification tags.

6. Keep Your Pet Calm

Before the trip, exercise your pet to help release energy. During travel, speak softly and stay calm — your pet senses your mood. Avoid sedatives unless prescribed by your vet.

7. Plan for Airport Security

At security checkpoints, your pet must come out of the carrier. Use a secure harness and leash to prevent escapes, and allow extra time to get through screening calmly.

8. Monitor Cabin Temperature

If your pet is traveling in cargo, confirm temperature controls are pet-safe. In the cabin, avoid placing the carrier near air vents or cold areas.

9. Hydrate and Feed Wisely

Keep your pet hydrated, but avoid feeding right before takeoff to prevent nausea. Offer small sips of water during the flight when possible.

10. After Landing: Comfort and Routine

Once you arrive, give your pet time to rest, stretch, and eat. Stick to familiar routines to help them adjust faster to the new environment.

Final Thoughts

Flying with your pet doesn’t have to be stressful. With preparation, love, and the right pet travel accessories, your furry companion will enjoy a safe, comfortable journey. BALTCROW is here to help — because they’re family.
