Traveling With Fido

Your pet travel primer: Answering questions about vaccination records, EU pet passports, and how to find dog-friendly restaurants.

Dog Owners: “You don’t need vet records for domestic travel on airplanes in most parts of the U.S. so long as your dog is accompanying you in the cabin.”

“It varies from airline to airline but usually pets must be under 25 pounds and it has more to do with the size of the carrier your dog is traveling in. Airlines require the use of certain types of carriers with a max size and these must be able to fit under the seat in front of you,” says Blond. “Your dog or cat must fit into the kennel comfortably. It is best to call the airline before purchasing a ticket to check on their pet policies and the exact measurements required for the carrier.”

Although most airlines have similar policies regarding weight and cabin limits and fees, you might find yourself partial to one airline versus another when your dog is involved, not unlike your preference for flying certain airlines.

If you are traveling from a non-EU country or territory, your pet must have an EU animal health certificate. It must be issued by an official state vet in the country of departure not more than 10 days before your pet arrives in the EU.
