Im going to be gone from 5/24-6/20 and im bringing my baby with me. I already made arrangements. But i looked on ebay and they were all mesh. I even looked at petsmart.com all mesh.
And I know i need a plastic type of kennel. I have flown many times, but with my father when we went to diffrent countries and he took care of the animal part. And i havent flown in about a couple years without dobermans, so I kind of forgot what i need to do. .
He is microchipped, and tatooed.
all shots are up-to-date
But, can i get his bill of health now. or do i have to do it right before i leave?
And is there anything i should do? I am kind of worried that the ppl who load him may take him or accedentally let him out (I secretly beleive everyone wants to steal my baby! lol)
also they told me that he has to go in cargo because he is so big.
Any help or tips will be appreciated!!!!!!!!

contact your local A.S.P.C.A. and see if they have any kennels that they could probably rent to you or sell you and if they can’t they might be able to point you in the right direction

Make sure that Spain does not require a Quarantine. If they do, your dog might be in quarantine half the time you are there.

Try Pet Edge

Wow I would be nervous too, but also would not want
to be away from my pup for 4+weeks.
As suggested, make sure there is no quarantine or other
“laws” in regards to bringing in a dog. If the shots are up
to date and dont expire in the timeframe you will be away,
that should be fine.
I don’t know if there is an “upgrade” to purchase for pets,
but if there is, I would pay it.
As far as a kennel goes, try finding a used on Ebay or Craig’s
list if this will be the only time you really need one.

You should be able to find the plastic type air freight carriers on most pet web sites.
Dr. Fosters and Smith would be a good choice or Omaha Vacine has them also.
Make sure you know the quarantine laws for the country you are traveling to and what they are when you come back as some are as long as six months.

Check the airlines.. I know Air Canada offers crates for sale. They are more expensive than Walmart, but they do have them available.
