No more cargo compartment for Fido -no not when your pet can travel on Pet Airways the new pet airlines specifically for pets. This airline with transport your cat or dog to its destination in warmth and comfort with friendly flight attendants who are pet friendly and attentive to your pets needs.

For years pet owners fretted about traveling with pets on airplanes when they get put into a cage and into the cargo compartment where the temperatures can be very cold since the cargo area is not heated. Many pets have made traumatic trips in the past but now with Pet Airlines -it is a whole new world in pet travel.

Have you ever seen a pet dog in their traveling crate go around and around in the luggage carousel waiting to be picked up by their owners who are probably waiting at the other end of the airport? The CEO and President of Pet Airways is David Wiesel and he says “ you see on Pet Airways, your pets aren’t packages, they are pawsengers.”

Pets that travel on the other commercial airlines are often traumatized for life from the experience and can have a heart attack or die but pet owners have not had any choices with how their pets are handled. If we were to track a pet on a regular commercial airline especially when they are handled like baggage-not many pet owners would want to repeat the experience.

The service starts with you dropping off your pet at the Pet Lounge and they get taken to the pet washroom before takeoff for one last washroom break. Each pet gets a pet attendant for the flight and you can track your pet’s progress on the Pet Tracker which is an online tracking system of the flight. See this at: www.PetAirways.com

The first flight takes off on July 14^th for the big Pet Airlines takeoff where all pets will travel in the body of the plane -not the cargo area. Currently flight schedules are:

New York to Chicago, New York to Los Angeles, Los Angeles to Chicago,

The company based in Florida has scheduled flights from New York to and from Los Angeles, Chicago, Denver or Washington D.C. Now the FAA leave the pet travel to the airlines and their rules are that your pet -container and all must fit under a seat, which is not a very big space.

Here are more rules and regulations of the Other Airlines :

• a limit on the number of pets in the cabin

• a limit on the number of pets that may accompany you on the airplane

• a requirement that your pet be harmless, inoffensive and odorless

• a requirement that you be able to produce a recently issued health certificate for your pet

The other Airlines will only accept one or two pets per flight and if they are booked for the flight you want -your out of luck and your pet stays home. Not very pet friendly are they and certainly not very comfortable even for small pets and you can’t bring a large dog like a Golden or a German Sheppard.

The SPCA of San Francisco found that there were 2 million animals transported by the airlines each year that 5,000 of them are seriously injured. Most animals die of suffocation, overheated or overly cold cargo areas with poor ventilation. In some cases if the pet is near a motor as was the case with one airline-the animal got burnt.

The other problem is that veterinarians tell you to give your dog a sedative for the duration of the trip and that in itself can be harmful. With Pet Airways your pet has an attendant to take care of it and keep it occupied for the trip instead of no one looking after it.

Your pet will be offered food and drink for the trip depending on the length of the trip and we don’t really know what movie is playing but we hope the line up is something like this:

Marley and Me

Top Dog – the Dog version of Top Gun

Reservoir Dogs Official Trailer

The Lightening Warrior-starring Rin Tin Tin

Scooby-Doo

101 Dalmatians

Beverly Hills Chihuahua

Snow Dogs-plays in December

Benji

White Fang

The Shaggy Dog

I can really see this airline-taking off-pardon the pun but this is a great idea for pet owners who travel and coupled with Pet Hotels- its a dog’s life. Oh by the way don’t try and sneak on board with Fido because -no humans are allowed in the baggage compartment. So fly your pet on Pet Airways-the only way to travel for your pet.  Book your next flight on Pet Airways and rest assured your pet will travel safely with a flight attendant an arrive without trauma to its destination.

Pet owners that travel have difficulty finding pet sitters but now there is a solution – Pet Hotels.  Across the country hotels for dogs and cats are springing up that provide high quality accomodation for your pet as well as spa services.

In the United States, Boston also holds high regard for our canine friends, where you can bring your dog into some of the shops and are allowed in outdoor cafes which are opening up to pet owners.  England is also a pet friendly country with inns and spas dedicated to pet hotels.
