With the development of society, the transportation industry is rapidly advancing. The distance between regions and countries is getting shorter. People are traveling more frequently, but as a pet owner, you don't want to leave your dog home alone or put them in a pet store or a friend's home for boarding, and you also don’t know how to arrange shipping for your dog. Here, I will introduce how exactly to arrange shipping for your dog.

The ways to ship dogs include bus shipping, train shipping, and plane shipping. We can choose the suitable method according to the actual situation. First, if you want to ship your dog by bus, you need to obtain an immunization certificate for your dog in advance. This is very important because if police or security check during the trip, dogs without immunization proof will be forced off. Secondly, because bus shipping requires placing the dog in a crate, we need to buy a breathable and sufficiently large crate in advance. Put water inside so you can replenish it when your dog is thirsty. If conditions allow, you can also place some toys to reduce your dog's fear.

For train shipping, it’s best to ask the train station in advance which trains allow pet shipping because some do not. Be sure to vaccinate your dog beforehand and get your dog’s vaccination certificate. Then bring the certificate, your dog, and yourself to the local animal quarantine department to get a quarantine certificate for your dog. This is free of charge and processed quickly. Like bus shipping, you also need to buy a crate for your dog. A few hours before the train departs, go to the train station shipping department to complete the dog shipping procedures.

Plane shipping requires contacting the airline in advance to reserve cargo space. You need to provide your dog’s weight and the size of the airline crate needed. Similar to train shipping, you need to get the dog’s quarantine clearance certificate ahead of time, and on the day of boarding, place your dog in a sturdy crate to avoid injury or loss. When exchanging for a boarding pass, you can complete your dog’s shipping procedures.
