Can dogs be sent by express delivery?

Dogs cannot be sent by express delivery. Express delivery does not allow live items to be sent, but dogs can be transported through consignment. To transport a dog, you need to apply for a pet advice certificate, which can be issued at a local regular pet hospital. Then you need to purchase a special shipping box, put a changing pad inside, and send the dog to the shipping office.

Things to note when checking in your dog

1. Arrive early: It is very necessary to consult with the airline and book a space two days in advance. Since pets must be transported on an aircraft equipped with an aerobic cargo cabin, booking a cabin in advance and arriving at the cargo office 3 hours before departure can ensure that your pet will arrive on the same plane as you.
2. Avoid squeezing: First of all, you must prepare a strong and durable special air box to transport pets. On the one hand, domestic airlines have certain requirements for the packaging of live cargo, and on the other hand, it is also for the safety of the pets themselves. Alternatively, you can tape a plastic item over the top of the flight box to prevent the movers from weighing other items on the box.
3. Provide drinking water: Almost all flight cases will come with a drinking fountain. You can first put the filled drinking fountains in the refrigerator to freeze them into ice cubes, and then install them in the flight case when you get on the plane. You don't have to worry about the water being spilled and your pet having no water to drink.
4. Don’t change flights: As long as there are no connecting flights during the journey, the possibility of your pet being sent to a different place by mistake will be much smaller. If your flight is taking off late, you can ask cargo to send your pet to the cargo hold later to ensure its safety.
5. Sedatives: If your pet is easily nervous or irritated, you can first consult your veterinarian and buy some sedatives to give it to help it relax.
