Plane and Car Trips with pet
I'm planning a trip by plane/car. Can my pet come?
Air travel
If you are traveling within the United States, please contact the airline directly for regulations and requirements for taking your pet on board or as live cargo. Most airlines will require a recent veterinary certificate of health in addition to specifications on carrier size. The ASPCA does not recommend sending your pet by air in the cargo hold, unless you have no other choice.
If you are traveling out of the country, please contact the embassy directly of the country to which you are flying. You may visit http://www.embassy.org/ or type in the country name and "Embassy" (e.g., Italian Embassy) for mandates, requirements and instructions.

Car travel
Planning a road trip? Traveling with a pet involves more than just loading the animal in the back seat and motoring off. Please see our Car Travel Tips for more information.
