If you’re driving with your pet, you can choose a pet car seat that straps your pet in and keeps them from running around the car. Not only is that more enjoyable for you while driving, but it’s safer for your pet. The seat is high enough so your pet can see out the windows and enjoy the scenery.

Length – Measure from the nape of the pet’s neck (where the collar falls) to the base of the tail
Height – Measure from the floor to the shoulder when the pet is standing up
Weight – Not to exceed the weight limit for that crate or carrier

Before you decide to fly with your pet you need to:

Check with the airline to see if they allow pets in the cabin. If they don’t see if they allow pets in the cargo hold (and your pet will have to be checked in)
Find out the dimensions of the allowable carrier – if your pet is flying in the cabin, the carrier has to be soft –sided and small enough to fit under the seat in front of you but allowing your pet enough room to be comfortable. If your pet has to fly in the cargo hold, you need to check on the pricing for the size hard-sided carrier you use.
