SEND PETS IN CARGO VS. SEND PETS AS CHECKED BAGGAGE

You can bring your pets on most airlines as checked baggage if you plan to fly on the same flight as your pet. They will take the place of one of your checked bags although they are kept in a separate area from your luggage. The port for the pets is pressurized and temperature controlled so your beloved will be as comfortable as you during the flight.
If you can’t fly with your pet, you will need to send them as manifested cargo and it really is not as scary as it sounds. Your pet will do just fine whichever way you need to send it. We can assist you with getting the right reservations and the best connections if you are leaving Argentina with your pet.
If you are coming into Argentina, you will need assistance with clearing customs and we have Representatives at the cargo terminal that can handle everything for you decreasing the time your pet stays in the warehouse to only a few hours rather than days if you try to do it alone.

New Security Directive Affects Non-U.S. Origin Cargo

The U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has issued a new Security Directive effective 1700 GMT March 10, 2011. This Directive mandates changes in security measures applicable to cargo shipments originating, transiting, or transferring at all non-U.S. locations.

Continental Airlines Cargo continues to accept cargo from all our customers as we work with the TSA to validate the impact and ramifications of this Directive.

Compliance with the new Directive requires carriers to determine whether the forwarder/

consolidator’s customer has had an established account with the forwarder for at least one

year. Forwarders are required to attest to this relationship by submitting the following revised

MAWB statement:

“All shipments tendered on this Master Air Waybill were received from persons having an established account for at least one year with a physical shipping address and a payment, invoice, or credit history of at least one year.”


When possible, this statement should accompany the shipment at time of tender. The statement may be written on the air waybill or other shipment documentation or may be included on a separate document. The version of the MAWB Acceptance Statement required by previous Directives is no longer valid or required.


Separate security measures apply to shipments tendered by regulated agents who provide the statement above, and to cargo from unregulated agents or agents who do not provide the statement. United Cargo will continue to accept cargo tendered both with and without this statement, and will apply the appropriate security protocols.


We will issue further updates on this issue as the impact of the new Directive is clarified. If you have any questions on this issue, please contact your cargo sales manager. We appreciate your support and continued strong business relationship.

Pet Boarding at Home Environment

When the time comes for the annual holiday travel season more and more pet owners are looking for alternatives to the traditional kennel boarding services. Many dog and cat owners are willing to go the extra mile if it means their furry friends are kept in a comfortable and caring environment. Pet hotels and even doggy holiday resorts are becoming more and more popular and many offer a level of luxury to pets that exceeds what the owners themselves enjoy while away.
 

PetsVentura Pet Hotel available for those pets whose owners are willing to pay the right price. However more and more owners are taking a different route, choosing to not board their dogs and cats in boarding centers - irrespective of how posh the facilities which are available - instead many owners select the relatively new, yet fairly simple concept of home boarding.

 

Home boarding is as straightforward as it sounds. Dogs and cats, instead of being placed in cages at a boarding facility are temporarily relocated to a pet sitter's home. The dogs are placed in a loving, family environment which is best suited to maintaining the pet's regular routine. Dogs are walked, played with and fed according to the specifications of the owner.

 

Satisfied owners insist the personalized and loving attention dogs receive through home boarding helps the animals maintain a calm and relaxed attitude while their owners are away. The feeling is that pets home boarded end up happier and healthier, both while the owner is away and after he or she comes back.

 

Dogs kept in boarding facilities are often walked infrequently, spending many hours a day alone in a small room or plastic cage. Home-boarded dogs live in the company of their sitter and are hardly ever left alone. Home boarding proponents and sitters like to stress that although the animal's stay with them is temporary the pets are treated as though they are part of the pet sitter's household, and cared for with the same amount of love and kindness as the sitter's own pets.

 

Although the original method of finding someone to home board your pet was a laborious search through classified listings or by word of mouth a greater and greater number of pet sitting services will arrange a home board for a small fee.

 

The convenience of such services is great, especially when you consider the number of precautionary steps the pet sitting service might offer. For example, a pet owner might not have the time to interview perspective sitters and or inspect the homes their pets will be staying in.

 

Pet sitting services maintain an up to date list of prospective sitters and will pre-screen both the sitter and their home on the owner's behalf. Pet sitters are chosen for their love of animals and trustworthy level of responsibility.

 

Homes are judged based on their comfort, cleanliness and appropriate facilities based on the pets to be boarded .

 

Published dog care expert and long time proponent of home dog boarding Newcastle resident Arlen Tooscombe, summed up the home boarding philosophy in his book Stay, Good Boy thusly, We would never put our children in a cage or hotel room for a week only to convenience ourselves, why do so many feel it is right to do it to our furred and feathered friends.

 

These are our companions. We appreciate their companionship and they appreciate ours. Why not allow them some caring companionship when we can't be with them? It is not so much a treat, as a responsibility.

Rules for Flying With a Service Dog

Here are some of the old and new rules as well as progress in animal relief areas that is currently worth mention.  As ones that used to travel with a service animal, this topic is very close to our heart, and that said, we hope that if you do travel with an animal that you have trained yourself, as we did, that you do so responsibly.  

Existing Rules:  

• Airlines can not ask passengers what their disability is, but they can ask what the service animal does for the individual, which will briefly touch on that person's special needs (and therefore eluding to their disability).
• Airlines are required to provide service animal relief areas and must cooperate with airport operators to make these areas accessible and readily available for both arriving and connecting passengers.
•  TSA will expedite passengers to and from outdoor relief areas if they are on the other side of security and a passenger needs to relieve the service animal during a connecting flight.

Newest Rule: 

•  Passengers traveling with "emotional support animals" (which are not currently defined the same as a service animal) must give the airline 48 hours advance notice and provide a letter of verification and special need from their doctor.

International Rules: 

Many countries have very strict rules regarding animals and traveling with pets, and no matter what the laws are in the US, as well as no matter whether the new 382 ruling requires their airlines to comply with the rules, if the country's existing laws prohibit animals in some way, they prohibit US travelers with service animals as well and are awarded a "conflict of law waiver" in regard to following 382. Of note, the Philippines, Jamaica, and Mexico have already received their conflict of law waivers, and do not, nor likely will soon, allow service animals into their countries.

Costa Rica Import Permit

Most of the government offices in Costa Rica close for the week between Christmas and New Years and many take an extended vacation beginning the 18th of December and not ending until after the 3rd of January.

If you are trying to import a pet you will find that this rule applies to you and the offices that you need to be opened to facilitate your need for an import permit. While some offices will be opened on a skeleton crew they will not be issuing import permits during this time and will only resume this practice after the 3rd of January.


Pets can still leave the country but should not try to enter the country by the proper means or they risk being held by the customs officials for an unlimited period of time.

Airline Animal Incident Reports

Please note that the data for each airline does not necessarily indicate the quality of service that it provides, because the number of animals transported by each airline varies widely.  For example, Continental Airlines, which transports numerous pets, has emphasized that incident reports are filed for less than 0.05% of the pets that it transports.  Further, Southwest Airlines until recently did not transport pets (in contrast to service animals, as required by law), and no reports have been filed by Southwest to date. http://www.thirdamendment.com/animals.html

The reports essentially give pet owners information they can use to decide how to and whether to travel with animals.

Such statistics to someone who has lost a beloved pet is like quoting similar data on the safe transport of unaccompanied minors to the caregiver of a child who is lost en route.









Consider all the options before you decide to put your pet on an airplane. Here are some general guidelines:
 


Ask your veterinarian if your pet is healthy enough to fly safely, as well as what precautions you should take. Compile specific questions about feeding.

Experts advise that puppies and kittens, sick animals, animals in heat, and frail or pregnant animals should not travel by air, and that "pug-nosed" animals should not fly in an aircraft's cargo area.

The American Humane Association recommends that pet owners do not sedate animals prior to air travel: "Whether flying in the cabin or with cargo, animals are exposed to increased altitude pressures of approximately 8,000 feet. Increased altitude ... can create respiratory and cardiovascular problems for dogs and cats who are sedated or tranquilized."

Despite marketing claims to the contrary, the Agriculture Department states there are no USDA-approved transport kennels. USDA suggests you select a container that is "put together securely" (e.g., with locking bolts); contains metal doors rather than plastic, especially those fastened by four metal rods; and offers a "strong and effective" door lock mechanism.

Make sure the container is the proper size. Also, note that many airlines will not accept a container with wheels. There are many other considerations concerning containers, so visit the sites linked at left to learn more. ( i.e  Pet Travel Agency )

Properly label all containers and make sure your pet has identification, such as a collar, ID tag, and/or microchip. Affix a photo to the container in case the animal escapes.
 

Acclimate the animal to the container prior to the day of travel.

International air travel can be quite complex. As the USDA states: "Each country has their own set of rules, some simple, some complex, and some require quarantine."
 


For an extensive list of nations, 
visit the USDA's Regulations and Assessments page.

Book as early as possible, since some airlines limit the number of animals onboard each flight. Reconfirm prior to departure.

Always choose non-stops over connecting flights whenever possible. 
 

Consider the time of year and the time of day, particularly midday flights in the summer and late night flights in the winter, and how extreme temperatures might affect your pet. Some airlines impose embargoes at certain destinations and/or during certain times, or when ground temperatures exceed specified limitations.

The bottom line: There are dozens of restrictions and caveats about transporting pets by air, and all sorts of embargoes on specific destinations as well as certain times of the year. In addition, space is limited and usually subject to a first-come reservation basis. So never make a booking until you're clear what the rules are for that airline.

Travelling in Europe with a Pet

Traveling with a cat or dog is now much easier with the new EU pet passport. 
The requirements:

Traveling with a cat or dog is now much easier with the new EU pet passport available from any veterinarian in Europe. The national authorities in every EU country are responsible for issuing the passport to the vets . All cats and dogs must have a passport containing details of a valid rabies vaccination. Until the end of 2011, Ireland, Malta, Sweden and the United Kingdom also require proof that the vaccination has been effective.

In addition, and also until the end of 2011, treatment for ticks and tapeworm is required for entry into Ireland, Malta and the United Kingdom. Finland and Sweden require a tapeworm treatment.

An animal has to be identified by an electronic microchip. A clearly readable tattoo is also acceptable until 3 July 2011, except if you are taking your animal to Ireland, Malta and the United Kingdom where a microchip is already required.

Young pets which cannot be vaccinated yet may be allowed to travel without vaccination on the conditions defined by each Member State.

For the entry of animals into Ireland, Sweden, Malta or the United Kingdom, antibody titration (a test to see if the vaccine has been effective) needs to be carried out after the vaccination.

The EU pet passport has been designed to last for the lifetime of the animal bearing it. When travelling, the pet owner must ensure that the rabies vaccination in the passport is valid or renew the pet's vaccination.

Some Member States might also choose to include additional information in the passport about other vaccinations and the animal's medical history to make veterinary checks easier, but this additional information is not required by EU law.

The EU pet passport makes veterinary checks easier and make life easier for travelling pet owners, since there is one single system that applies for all EU countries (with some temporary exceptions for the UK, Ireland, Malta and Sweden).

If you are travelling to or from one of the neighboring countries where the rabies status matches that of the EU. This includes: Andorra, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Monaco, Norway, San Marino, Switzerland and the Vatican City State.

Import A Pet to Peru

Microchip

Peru requires that all incoming pets be equipped with a microchip for identification purposes.

Vaccinations

For dogs, the Peruvian government requires vaccinations for distemper, hepatitis, parvo virus, carre disease, leptospirosis, (DHLPP) corona virus, parainfluenza and rabies. For cats, the vaccinations include feline vioral rhinotracheitis, calicivirus, panleukopenia (FVRCP) as well as rabies. Other animals also need special vaccines.

International Health Certificate

Obtain an international health certificate. All countries have some form of certificate for pet travel. The certificate proves ownership of the animal and provides evidence of all vaccinations and microchip status. It also confirms that the pet is free of disease at the time of issue. Ideally this certificate should be obtained within 30 days of departure.

Endorsement Forms

If raveling from the United States to Peru with a pet, your international health certificate must be endorsed by the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Inspection Services). Locate the nearest USDA endorsement office and send in all your forms. This should include the microchip implantation record, vaccine certificates and the international health certificate. The USDA will return a formal endorsement certificate.

FEES

The last stage of entry to Peru with a pet takes place when you arrive. If your pet is transported in a cargo hold, you pass through immigration control on your own and then get your pet at baggage claim. Once you have your pet with you, go to the Peruvian customs station. You must present your certificates here and pay a fee. As of February 2010, the fee was 106.60 Nuevos Soles. This comes out to roughly $35.

Complain About Your Airline Pet Travel Service

If you experience this kind of problem with your airline, you may want to deal with it by lodging a complaint with the airline or to one of the authorities that oversee air transportation.
Whenever you can identify a problem on the spot, your best option will usually be to bring it to the airline's attention and give them a chance to resolve the issue. If you are at the airport, then contact the airline's customer service representatives, a manager, or some other employee who has the authority to immediately take care of your problem. If you are in flight, then contact the head flight attendant.
If your complaint involved a U.S. airline or a non-US airline operating in the United States, you may want to submit your complaint with the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT). You can file a formal complaint in one of the following ways:

Pet Relocation Company

Your pet is precious cargo; you won’t trust just anyone to move your dog 5,000 miles or even 5 miles. 

How can you be sure which company to trust?
Thankfully, the Independent Pet and Animal Transportation Association (IPATA) was founded in 1979 “to provide professional, competent and caring pet transportation relocation services throughout the USA and around the world. ” This network is made up of professional pet shippers who are registered with the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) and adhere to the rules and regulations of the USDA’s Animal Welfare Act. You can find a trusted pet relocation service by visiting IPATA’s website. 

Keep in mind that the company you work with does not need to be in your current city or in your new destination. After you start narrowing down which IPATA members you’re interested in working with, jot down a list of questions that you have about the pet relocation process. 

Here are some important things to ask:
- What are your policies and procedures?
- Are you licensed and insured?
- How long have you been transporting pets?
- How long will it take to get my pet to our new home?
- How often do you stay in touch with me during the trip?
- Who will be my point of contact throughout the duration?
- What are your fees? Is that the total cost? – How will you ensure that my dog or cat gets fed and has enough water?
- What supplies should I pack with my pet?

As you’re interviewing the companies, they should be happy to answer any and every question you have.

Don’t forget to request testimonials from happy and satisfied owners who have used that company’s service. 

When you make your final decision, it’s important to feel confident in their abilities – they are handling a very special family member. They Make it Easy IPATA’s pet relocation members are experts in arranging door-to-door service for your pet. You do not have to handle any of the travel arrangements because it’s all taken care of for you. 

Pet relocation professionals know the best airlines to work with, the most reliable pick up and delivery services, as well as all the regulations and restrictions surrounding transporting animals (and when these regulations change). 

If you are moving overseas, your new country of residence will have its own regulations regarding the importation and exportation of animals. Note that the fact that there is a good deal of paperwork that needs to be taken care of before your pet can enter a different country; some countries even require a pet passport! Paperwork aside, there may also be quarantine periods. 

Your pet relocation company will make sure that all of the required paperwork is in order and be able to debrief you on the country’s quarantine or other import policies. 

Pet relocation companies exist to make moving your pet a lot less stressful.
