Planning a family holiday can be much fun but if you want to make it the best overall experience for the entire family then you seriously need to reconsider the plans that you are making for your pet. Most people don’t want to leave their beloved friend at home but are simply afraid when they learn about the harm that can come to a pet that is transported in the cargo hold.
And although you may think that this method of transporting your pet is safe when you hear the statistics about the number of pets that get injured and even die during their ride on a commercial airliner it is a little frightening. During the past five years 122 dogs have died and 88 have been injured on commercial airline flights. Many of these come from the improper handling of the crates that the animals are kept in as well as the much colder temperatures in the luggage compartment where the animals are stored during the trip.
For the most part many people believe that their animals are safer staying at home under the care of their vet but the truth is that there are many illnesses that animals come in contact with when they are kept in cages around a lot of other animals, such as kennel cough. This is one of the most common illnesses but many animals are lost, stolen, injured, abused, and even die in kennels each year as well and it will be difficult to relax on your holiday if you are worrying about your pet’s care while you are away from home.
The next time you travel far from home consider taking your pet with you on a private jet charter. This is the best way to keep an eye on your pet and to give them the care they need while enjoying your holiday. Share the holiday experience with the entire family without worrying about your beloved pet.
