:) Me too, Pat! I have everything ready for Toto "just in case" ... tags, health certificate, etc. I did not know about the oxygen!!! Sorry that they don't want them to leave their carrier, but in the event that oxygen is needed, you can bet your boots, Toto will be "buddy breathing" with me & Patrick! I dare say, with all the panic this would entail ... noone is going to bother telling me I can't have her out from under the seat. :rolleyes: Seriously, I would never travel with Toto without all the papers necessary to avoid any sort of problem that can easily be avoided. Hope your trip is great! ;) |
When flying Delta We have flown Delta 5 times since June 1st-both in and out of the country... Through our veternarian, I've checked for each state we've flown to beforehand and so far each has not required a a health certificate upon arrival. I do take her shot records and rabies tag just in case but other than when we have taken her out of the country we haven't needed a certificate. Even then they didn't even check it but better safe than sorry... I also keep a copy of Delta's policy in our travel bag... With more and more pets flying I really wish they would set up a "Passport" program for pets... |
I am flying with 2 dogs from NH to NM in about 12 days. NWA does not require health certs and New Mexico state law says this: ***DOGS*** No prior entry permit required. Health certificate showing rabies vaccination within 12 months of entry for dogs 3 months of age or older. So Im bringing the dogs rabies vaccination papers which has their name, dob, weight, etc. Im thinking that will be good enough if they are really only looking for proof of rabies vacs. Good Luck and have fun traveling with your baby! This is the first time I travel with mine! Wish me luck too! :) I am just hoping and praying at this point that they won't have a problem with both my babies going on the plane. :) |

ToTo Bettyanne, you better give that baby angel, Toto oxygen...I still have her Santa photo in a tiny frame on my Yorkie cabinet... |
I was told by the vet it is not so much the airlines that require it, but the STATEs. I've only been asked once (his 1st flight) never again after that. This most recent trip home I got one, but lost it in the air port at the ticket counter. No one asked me. I get mine free with his care plan |
Well I'm the OP & I spent bucks for the vet visit & the health certificate & carried it with me to & from - no one cared they just had the best time seeing my yorkies - of course they were toooooooo cute dressed as Santa & Mrs. Claus on the departure trip. No one in security or with the state seemed too concerned - it's just crazy because if you need them they should be checking for them or forget the whole thing |
I called Delta before we went to Florida to see if they required a health certificate. They said they didn't, but the state I was flying to may require one, so to check with the state. I googled it and Florida did require a health certificate. I got one to be safe, even though my mom and dad fly back and forth to Florida all the time and have never had their health certificate checked. I would still get one just in case we were required to produce it in Florida (even though it costs me an office visit go get). |
Health Cert Just like the above post, some states require one for entry some do not. Idaho does and they checked when we got there. |

I think it is probabaly good practice to get a health certificate ANYTIME you are going to be away from home. (including rabie tags). I also suggest a ID tag that includes your CELLPHONE number. |
I just flew northwest with 2 dogs and did not bring health certs, noone even looked at the carrier! noone cared! Northwest does not require them, so I wouldn't worry about it, but thats just me. Id fly them again, although we were not trouble free. There were delays on almost all flights, the dogs were barking in the bag on the floor and they wouldnt let me even put the bag on my lap while we were on the runway for an hour! Otherwise noone even knew the dogs were there! Pretty easy Id say! I did take their rabies certs though, I put them in the carrier that way I could find them easily, just in case. I was not asked for them but Id do that again if I flew just in case! |

Last time I flew we went US Airways and they didn't require one so I didn't get one. All I brought along was copies of her shots and no one even wanted to see them. I think if your dog is well behaved and well groomed and cute they are all good with it!!! Oh and if they are dressed then that puts them over the top and all they want to do is see and pet your dog and they don't care about anything else! |
