5 Reasons Why In-cabin Air Transport is the best way to safely transport your pet without going crazy or making your pet feel stressed out
Wait… My pet can fly on the plane with me?

ABSOLUTELY! As long as they meet the guidelines of the airline, of course! Generally speaking, your pet dog, cat, bird, or bunny can travel with you if they are in good health and small enough to fit comfortably in an airline-approved travel carrier. More and more pet parents are choosing to travel with their furry companions. Air travel is, hands down the best way to go. Here’s why;
It’s Way Quicker than driving.
Picture this, you live in Los Angeles. You have a week-long trip planned in New York City at the end of the month. Your choices are to drive cross-country a week prior. Or fly there in a fraction of the time. The choice is pretty simple.
2. It’s Way Safer than driving
The statistics are there. The odds of experiencing an accident on a flight are only 1 in 8,000,000. The odds of experiencing an accident while driving are much, much higher. Not to mention, the farther you drive, the more possibility of something going wrong. What happens if your pet becomes ill on the road, in the middle of nowhere? At least with flying, you can seek veterinary medical attention for your pet as soon as you land. With-in a couple hours max.

3. It’s far Less Stress for your pet
Travel can be a stressful event for pets. Especially if they are relocating to a new home. Why not make the experience as short and easy for them as possible? When your pet travels by air, they are only in transit for a maximum of a day. If they are traveling in the aircraft cabin, they are safe and secure in their travel carrier. They can smell and see their owner or travel guardian. This gives them reassurance. Honestly, most pets sleep the entire flight. Something about the gentle hum and vibrations of the engines luls them to sleep.

“Love at first lick" Beau the GSP puppy meets his new family.
“Christian is the best of the best! He was so loving and caring for our 8 week old puppy on a flight from San Diego to San Francisco. What had the potential to be a stressful 1st time experience for our new puppy leaving his littermates for the 1st time was made into an exciting adventure! He was given the same level of love and care we would have provided ourselves. Christian was extremely communicative throughout the entire process. Despite only being a few hours of transit, it was clear our puppy bonded with Christian and was giving him kisses when he handed him to us at the airport. Cannot recommend Christian and Signature Pet Transport enough for anyone looking for the highest level of care for their companions.”
