The Pet Guardian’s Guide To The Most Pet Friendly Airlines. Plus Our Leaderboard Of The 10 Most Pet Friendly Airlines

By Pedro Okoro // Updated: February 22, 2022 13 Comments

With over five million pets and other live animals transported by air every year around the world, is your favorite airline on our list of the 10 most pet friendly airlines?

pet-friendly-airlines

Most pet parents need to travel with their pets by air. With so many commercial airlines out there, what are the most pet friendly airlines?

In a moment, we will unpack the phrase “pet friendly”.

But first, pet travel is huge!

Over 2 million pets and other live animals are transported by air every year in the United States. That’s according to the U.S. Department of Transportation. And with an estimated 53% of travelers taking holidays with their pets, we can safely guesstimate that well over 5 million pets travel by air around the world every year. A humongous number, whichever way you look at it!

Although governments impose restrictions on transporting live animals, every airline has a responsibility to ensure the safety and well being of any animal they ship. Because of this, each airline has policies for the safety and well being of any animals they transport.

Now back to what we mean by “pet friendly” airlines.

By Pedro Okoro // Updated: February 16, 2021 1 Comment

Wireless dog fences allow you to keep your canine safe and secure, without having to lock them in a cage or building a physical fence. What are the best wireless dog fences? But do they actually work? Are they even humane?

wireless-dog-fences

If you’re a dog parent, you only want the best for your dogs, including their safety. Dogs can sometimes runoff from the yard seemingly oblivious of the consequences, leaving you to worry and fret about their safety.

This can be a real problem if your family compound is too large or if your home is near a busy road and you haven’t installed a fence. Fortunately, with a well-installed wireless dog fence, you can ensure your pet stays within predetermined parameters without needing to install a physical fence.    

The idea of something happening to your beloved dog is not what you would like to experience. However, while you can easily keep it locked all day, that option isn’t the best. Dogs need to play and they require exercise. Wireless dog fences allow you to keep your canine safe and secure, without having to lock them in a cage or having to build a physical fence.

Wireless dog fences are entirely invisible, allowing your dog to run around but within the set boundaries.

Hiking is one of the best ways of enjoying the outdoors. Whether it’s just a stroll, short walk, long hike, or strenuous workout, exploring the outdoors is a fantastic way to spend your day. What makes it even more fun is enjoying it alongside your furry friend.

However, the main challenge that comes with adventuring with a four-legged friend is carrying their supplies. It can be quite challenging when planning how to carry the extra gear your dog needs, as well as your supplies for the hike. This is where a good dog backpack comes into play.

Dog backpacks provide a comfortable and convenient way of carrying your dog’s accessories during outdoor adventures. Also, if you wish to share and spend time with your canine but are limited by their old injuries or stamina, you’ll want to consider a dog carrier to offload some of the weight.

Sometimes referred to as “catios,” outdoor cat enclosures offer the best of both worlds.

The-cat-parents-guide-to-outdoor-cat-enclosures

If you’re a cat parent, there’s no doubt about it – you love your cat. You want what’s best for your little furry friend, and you want him or her to be as happy as possible all of the time.

You may find yourself thinking about letting your cat explore the great outdoors. After all, cats are tiny, domesticated wild animals, and all the wild cats you know of enjoy being outside. 

However, letting your cat outdoors may not always be wise. It’s unsafe for local wildlife, and it’s not safe for your cat, either.

That’s why so many cat parents are exploring the idea and concept of outdoor cat enclosures these days.

Sometimes referred to as “catios,” outdoor cat enclosures offer the best of both worlds. With an outdoor cat enclosure, your cat can enjoy the weather, the fresh air, and all of the exciting goings-on that occur outside your home while staying completely safe at all times.

After reading this informative post, you’ll be convinced that this is the way to go, and you’ll be ready to get started on creating your own.

Ask The Vet: Everything About Sedating Cats For Travel

By Pedro Okoro // Updated: February 13, 2021 Leave a Comment

We ask the Vet: “Apart from sedating for surgery, should we be sedating cats at all? And are there any viable alternatives to sedation for travel?”

sedating-cats-for-travel, category-pet-travel

Should you? Shouldn’t you?

In this day and age, should we even be sedating cats for travel? I bet you wouldn’t want to be sedated for any kind of travel, so why should your beloved cat?

But then, what if it’s actually in the best interests of the cat to be sedated?

As an animal rights campaigner, those are the issues at the forefront of my mind as I write this article.

Although the focus of this article is everything relating to sedating cats for travel, I’m tempted to ask, “apart from sedating for surgery, should we be sedating cats at all?” Are there any viable alternatives to sedation?
