Often, when people go on vacation or a long trip, they cannot or do not want to leave their pets at home. Fortunately, many small pets can be taken with you on a bus, train, and even a plane. The main thing is to know and follow the transportation rules.

Who is on the list of small pets

According to the law, these include:

  • cats;
  • dogs;
  • birds;
  • small amphibians (frogs, toads);
  • small rodents (guinea pigs, mice, hamsters, rabbits, chinchillas, rats, squirrels);
  • mollusks, aquarium fish;
  • non-venomous small reptiles (turtles, lizards);
  • arthropods

Transportation of Small Pets by Car

Small pets can be transported in a rented car or taxi, but it is necessary to inform the company of your plans in advance. The animal must be in a carrier.

Birds are transported in containers, cages, or regular boxes, and rodents are transported in cages or carriers. Any animal is prohibited from being in the cabin unrestrained, as this can interfere with the driver and cause an accident.

Tips for Comfortable Small Animal Transportation

To ensure the comfort of your pet during the trip, follow these recommendations:

  • Preparing the container. Prepare the container in advance. You can put soft bedding inside, as well as a familiar and favorite toy of the animal.
  • Food and water. Make sure the animal has water. Food can be given before the trip and during stops.
  • Animal calmness. The pet should be accustomed to the container in advance so that it feels calm and comfortable.
  • Travel time. Plan the trip to minimize stress for the animal. Choose overnight trains or times when your pet usually rests.

Transporting small pets is not difficult, but it requires compliance with certain rules and conditions. Proper preparation and the availability of all necessary documents will help you travel without any problems and make the journey safe for your pet. Follow our tips and recommendations to ensure your pet feels comfortable and calm throughout the trip.
