Continental's animals fly in climate controlled pods ... air conditioned when needed, heated when needed. While the pod is on the tarmac waiting for the plane, the animals inside aren't getting cooked.
If there was any way I could avoid it, I'd never ship an animal in cargo. But there are always "those" instances ... and if I had to, Continental is the only one I'd use. None of them are perfect, but some are better than others.
Just my two cents' worth ... | No, this was listed under PET IN CABIN. I would never ship my dog cargo!!
