What do you need to take a pet by airplane to another state

Question

Answer 1

Depends on the airline carrier your are flying with.  check the website of the airline company for specific requirements, they will all be different.  

In the past, I have needed a note from my vet dated within 10 days of the flight that states the animal is up to date on her rabies vaccine.  

Some airlines allow you to store the animals with the luggage, others require you to bring him/her on the plane.. this means your carrier must be as small as a carry-on bag so it can fit under the seat in front of you.

Good luck! Just check the airlines website, or call their customer service, they will have the info for you :)
