I do have a letter from the vet, but I'm not sure if that will be enough. We cannot let him get vacs, just for the flight. (I would end up missing the grad if he got sick like he had twice before). If worse comes to worse, my hubby would stay home with Prince.
We'll have to fly from ATL to PHL, then take a bus from Philly to Newark (DE). I think it takes about two hours on the bus, and I'm not sure if dogs are allowed on the bus. I remember reading about a lady in Tampa who was thrown off Greyhound because she had a dog! (How ironic is that...Greyhound)! I could rent a car, that would probably be easier and I have a GPS.
I'll make some calls this week.
I get a headache thinking about all of this. |
I think you should call the bus company you are using and ask about their pet policy, or look for it online. And also call the airline company you are using, sounds like prince is a special situation. I think as long as you have proof that he is healthy (a health certificate from the vet) and another written document from the vet stating Prince's special circumstance. You're not traveling from a different country where quarantine is sometimes put in place. But, call just to be on the safe side.
To be honest, I never needed any of the documentation that they asked for. I went in and out without anyone asking for any documentation. But I bet if I didn't have them, they would have asked to see his health certificate. You know how those things could be sometimes. If I was gutsy, I'd probably try bringing Kaji in without even paying for him. Seriously, no one knew he was on the plane because of how quiet he is. But, I'm a goody goody and I always follow the rules.
