Many Rhode Island seniors find themselves driving to their vacation homes or to visit family because they just don’t feel comfortable about putting their cat or dog on a plane, especially if they’re forced to ride in the cargo hold due to size or restrictions. Now, there’s an easy way to travel with your favorite furry friend, without having to deal with the stress of driving. Pet Airways is a new airline that provides travel options just for pets. They have a few destinations in the US and have plans to expand their flights to accommodate all major cities in the US and Canada. So seniors, next time you’re traveling, look to pet airways to provide the following services, so you know your friend is in good hands:
• Pets ride in a climate controlled airplane, where they are regularly checked by staff for comfort and safety
• Pets on Pet Airways are not accepted if they have been given a sedative, something that is commonly required for pets riding on traditional airlines f they are nervous or excitable
• Unlike on other airlines, pets have the opportunity for potty breaks. They are brought out right before the flight and as soon as they land, and on long flights there are stop-overs so pets can relieve themselves
• Larger dogs have the option to travel without having to be placed in the cargo hold like they are luggage, which is not climate controlled and there’s no way to know how safe the animal is
