For most of us, pets are as much a part of the family as the children. Just that they may not be allowed to accompany you on the flight. However, it is our job to see that your pet gets all the attention and care that it needs on its journey. However, all living, warm-blooded animal shipments must meet container requirements established by the USDA. This part, they must also meet minimum requirements for container construction, stability, and ventilation.

The IATA Live Animal Regulations book contains information for shipping both warm-blooded and cold-blooded live animals. (Details of the regulation can appear as a link since not many browsers would be interested in such details when browsing through this site for the first time).
