Summer is the traditional season for family vacations, and
many people want to include their canine and feline family members in
their travel plans. The problem is that not all modes of transportation
are as comfortable or safe for our animal companions as they are for us.
Air travel can be particularly dangerous— even deadly—for animals,
especially when they travel in the cargo holds of planes.
Thanks to the efforts of DDAL and other animal advocates,
beginning on July 1, 2005, the Department of Transportation (DOT) began
publicly posting the number of animals who are killed, lost, or injured
while traveling in the baggage holds of each airline every year. This
information will help guardians determine which carriers take the best
care of their animal passengers. Of course, traveling by land also poses
risks, so, in the end, missing your beloved dog or cat while you're away
may be well worth knowing that he or she will be safe and sound when you
return home.
