2. Before issuing the ticket, grandma called the Northwest United States Office in Beijing to confirm that the baby is allowed to enter the cabin on the scheduled flight (generally only 3 small animals are allowed on each flight) cabin).

3. It seems that bags with dogs are not easy to buy in China. Baobao Li and her uncle drove around major supermarkets and pet markets for several days but could not find any; finally, Baobao Li’s parents are in the United States. You can buy it at PETCO (you can also buy it at PETMART) ($50) and ask someone to take it back to Beijing. When buying, be sure to check whether it is approved by the airline you are flying on.

5. After arrival:

1. After the father picked up the grandma and the baby at the Houston Airport, he knew that the baby was a little dizzy, so he took the baby to rest on the grass for 30 minutes and drink water. water, the baby took the opportunity to poop happily again.

2. It took Baby Li three weeks to get over the jet lag after coming to the United States, which was very awkward.

3. Baby Li’s first physical examination in the United States cost 80 US dollars, of which more than 50 was spent on examination and injection of HEART WARM vaccine, which was actually quite cheap.

4. A few days ago, my parents took Baby Li to Miami by plane ($80 one way). The baby was quite used to being in the bag, especially when he came back, he was very good, not humming or laughing. Dad specifically looked for "PETS WELCOME" when he was booking a hotel.

1. Understand the relevant regulations and fees for the entry of puppies

First of all, you need to understand the relevant regulations of the country you are going to enter. You usually need to find out: animal entry and exit procedures, types and requirements of documents; what items are required for pet export animal quarantine Inspection, whether the certification documents need to be fair; how long the pet needs to be quarantined and inspected after arriving in the destination country, and the cost items. If you have not been vaccinated, especially rabies vaccine, the quarantine period may be as long as 6 months. All expenses incurred during the quarantine inspection, including food expenses, medical examination fees, vaccination fees, etc., shall be paid by you.

Fees: In addition to fees that may be incurred during quarantine and isolation, each airline typically charges the checked baggage price based on the weight of the pet (including the travel case).

2. Physical examination and application for immunity certificate and passport

1. A detailed physical examination of the whole body is essential. Including its cardiopulmonary function, whether it is infected with viruses, whether there are parasites, etc. After the physical examination, your pet will have a certificate form-the health status of the dog and cat and the vaccination report.

2. If there are still some vaccines prescribed by the other party that have not been vaccinated, the pet should be vaccinated one month in advance. Antibodies will usually develop ten days after the injection. After that, the pet will have another certificate - an immunity certificate.

3． With the health form from the physical examination, you can go to the airport to exchange for the puppy passport - pet health certificate issued by the People's Republic of China.

3. Notes on boarding

1. It is common for pets to travel with their owners in foreign countries, so foreign airlines are more experienced in flying pets and are more tolerant and friendly towards pets. Currently, Air China has no regulations that allow pets to stay in the passenger cabin.

2. At present, many foreign airlines allow small pets (such as cats, rabbits and small dogs) to stay in the passenger cabin with their owners, but they must stay in the pet travel box throughout the journey and put the travel box under the aircraft seat. Pet travel box Each airline has specific regulations on the size.

3 Some airlines only allow pets to be placed in the luggage compartment along with pet suitcases. You must consult in advance whether the luggage compartment has insulation and oxygen supply conditions. Without temperature regulation, pets will freeze to death or heat to death at high altitudes.

4． After entering the country, your pet will be separated from you for a period of time and quarantined. You must be mentally prepared for this.

5. Chinese airlines require you to go to the airport three days in advance to check in pets. If airlines from other countries require you to go through formalities in advance or ask when you arrive at the airport.

6 Even if airlines allow pets to stay in the passenger cabin during flights, they generally do not allow pets to be taken out of the cage. If you need to give medication or check on your pet's condition, you need to communicate with the crew in advance to avoid misunderstandings.

Four. Give your dog a happy flight

1. Training: First take your dog to practice riding in a car to simulate the feeling of an airplane cabin, so that its ability to resist motion sickness becomes more "strong". Start at normal speed first, and then gradually increase braking a few times to train your dog's tolerance. However, this method is only suitable for dogs over five months old. Dogs that are one or two months old are not suitable for going abroad.

2. Seat: The suitcase is your puppy’s seat. The size can be looser, and there should be a pad of absorbent material underneath to absorb the puppy's excrement. Allowing your puppy to get used to the seat before boarding will save you a lot of trouble.

3． Food: It is best not to let it eat too much during the flight. It is best to fast three hours before the flight to avoid vomiting on the plane. The journey is long, so give him some snacks appropriately, preferably less than too much.

4． Drinking water: Pets need to drink water frequently. You need to prepare a special water bottle in the suitcase and train your pet how to use the water bottle to drink water in advance. If you use a water bowl, it may knock over and wet the pet box during the flight, causing discomfort to the pet.

5. Health care: Many pets suffer from motion sickness. You must contact your veterinarian in advance and prepare relevant medicines (such as sedatives or sedatives). Even if your pet doesn’t get motion sick, it’s still a good idea to have a tranquilizer ready for emergencies. It is best to dissolve the medicine in water and push it into the pet's mouth with a syringe. You should have a spare syringe ready.

6. Prepare some small toys for it to kill some boring time on the long journey.
