Many veterinarians experience frustration and confusion with clients’ air travel, unsure of the plane ride experience and how to help clients prepare for the various requirements. This webinar provides insights into air transport of animals, suggestions to prepare pets for travel via cargo, and demonstrates how digital health certificates (CVIs) can ease the process. Risks and stressors associated with transport are also addressed, as well as the potential airline and state entry requirements involved in the journey.

Watch this webinar (recorded 3/25/20) to learn about:

• Exactly what a companion animal experiences when transported by air cargo;
• How veterinarians can help identify and mitigate conditions that predispose the animals to illness, injury, or escape during transport;
• How to collaborate with animal owners to ensure they do their part in preparing their animals for safe air transport.
