have a tag on each collar which has an alternate contact

Traveling by Air

Write on top of the crate your name and address and I'm wild, please don't let me out or feed me.

On the dog collar in addition to your home address and phone, write the address and phone of the place where you will be visiting.

Don't lock the crate - it is not allowed.

Put one or two comforting toys in the crate.

Feed within 2 hrs of departure. Provide water and food dish and put ice in it (I was told to remove the ice by airport personnel, but it seemed like a good idea).

When entering the plane have the captain call the baggage loaders and confirm that the dog is on your flight.
