Consejos para transportar perros en transportín

Hi, I'm Andres Parceras from Travel Doc, and today I'm going to explain how to assemble a dog carrier for an international trip so that your dog doesn't travel with you in the cabin, but rather in the hold. I'm going to explain the first steps you need to know. It's very important that a carrier, in addition to the staples themselves, also has screws. This is essential because international flight regulations for flights anywhere in the world require that all carriers have staples properly secured with screws and a dowel at the same time. If the carrier has staples, it ensures much greater safety. But this is one of the very important things to know when taking your dog anywhere in the world. It's very important for you to know that normally the drinking fountains that go inside the carrier you buy are standard drinking fountains, which will be of little use for a long international trip. It is very important that you know that your dog has to stay hydrated at all times, right? It is also important that your dog eats, because it can cause vomiting during the trip. But it is also important that it drinks and drinks plenty of water, depending on the size of the dog. Let's say for a dog weighing approximately 10kg, it would be interesting to take a container, the classic containers, to put meat and other products in, and transform it into a drinking bowl. You can use the standard drinking bowl to put your dog's food. Please note that on international trips it is mandatory for the carriers to have a large drinking bowl and a food bowl, even if there is no food. It is also very important that you know that in order for anyone to be able to provide water, since the water will run out as the trip progresses, you must also include a funnel, a funnel that we will teach you how to place on the door of the carrier so that anyone from outside can give it water. You should also know, which is also very important, that you must use some bridles, cable ties, to secure the carriers, a little more to put in the holes to prevent them from opening under any circumstances. In addition to screws and staples, and also hybrids, to secure the doors so that any stranger cannot open your door. This is very important. Then you also have to know that when your dog travels in the hold of the plane, he has to carry a dose of a bag with a dose of his food. Because we know perfectly well that sometimes when you arrive at the airport, dogs usually exit through another door and they give them to you. But sometimes there may be delays in flights or dogs may have to stay in the unloading area. In that Case. It is important that they carry their food in case the dogs need to be fed. Depending on the size of the animal, the dog, your dog, the water bowl. The water bowl has to be according to its size. You can't put a drinking fountain or a container in it. This could be for a dog weighing approximately 10 or 15 kg, but then we can have carriers. Obviously this is a small carrier for a dog weighing 10 or 15 kg. But we have carriers of 90 or 110. In the 90 or 110 kg. We recommend putting a bucket in the classic buckets for dogs weighing 35 or 45 kilograms, which we can use for other things at home. Using it as a large drinking fountain is very important since dogs need water at all times. Here we have a capacity to perfectly hold 2 liters of water. In 2 liters of water, a dog can easily travel for more than 12 hours on the entire plane. You have to think that if there is a stopover at the airport, they will put water in it so that the dog is hydrated at all times. Good bowls for water are very important, not for food. Food is not that important. The important thing here is that the dog is hydrated at the same time. You should also know that before traveling you have at least five or six hours before flying. Right? That they don't have to eat. We must at all times prevent the dog from having a bad time with vomiting while traveling in the carrier. They have a really bad time, we can assure you. So what we recommend is not feeding them five hours before flying. Five hours. And at the same time taking them for a long walk of an hour and a half, two hours before flying. In this way, we will ensure that the dog flies empty. That is, they don't have to defecate inside their own carrier as they drink water. Obviously, there may be times when they pee inside the carrier, but it is not so important since we will introduce a waterproof floor inside the carrier. That is a. A diaper floor. Are the classic floors that can be used in veterinary clinics as protection. Well, this is very important. The floor should be sanitized and absorbent to prevent your dog from feeling uncomfortable and even from causing skin irritation due to contact with urine. You need to know that your dog has to learn to be inside the carrier. It is very important that your dog feels the carrier as his own, as if it were his own home. We recommend. Traveldoc recommends that you leave the carrier open for a while at home and gradually introduce food and drink into the carrier so that he feels that this space is also his. It is also very important that you know that you have to do progressive training. That is that little by little you first close the door for 5 minutes, 10 minutes and progressively until you get the hang of it. He has to know that the door opens so that he does not feel trapped or locked in this space. At the same time, Gravitlock continually recommends that we put a piece of personal clothing, a T shirt, a sock, something unwashed inside the space. This will reassure our pet even more. We also have to inform you that there are pheromone collars on the market that contain pheromones that greatly help to calm pets. Specifically in this case, dogs. When your dog is traveling, it is obviously going to be handled by different hands. That is, the carrier will be handled. It is very important that you stick your emergency telephone number on the top of the carrier and also your dog's name. In this way, he will be called by his name at all times and he will feel much calmer. It is important for you to know this. At the same time, it is also important as they will provide you with them when you go to the airport to accompany you to fly with your airline that you insert some stickers that you can find, they will provide you with. But in the hypothetical case that you do not find them, you can buy them at the airports. They are stickers that mark the direction of the carrier as to how it should be. As you can see, our own travel dock stickers mark arrows that indicate the exact position of the carrier so there is no confusion. We are delighted that you have watched this video because it will help you a lot when traveling with your pet anywhere in the world.
