| Safe Air travel for Pets: PetAirWays I recieved a Kong Newsletter today & there was an article about a new pet airlines. Pretty cool..Here is the article: Safe Air Travel for Dogs and Cats Have you ever tried to travel with your pet on a commercial flight and found it difficult to see your beloved pet headed to the cargo area of the airline? Well, a new company, Pet Airways, is introducing a worry free method of travel! According to the American Animal Hospital Association, approximately 76 million cats and dogs travel with their owners each year. Dogs and cats are found in at least one out of every three households and America’s love affair with pets is growing. Despite the high number of pets traveling, relatively few currently travel by air. This is not surprising, considering the questionable conditions under which most pets must travel. Small pets have it best and may travel, stowed under the seat on some airlines, although most airlines will only accept one or two pets per flight. Pets too big to fit under the seat are relegated to cargo and unfortunately in many cases, are treated as such. Recently, several airlines have announced they will no longer accept pets on board their aircraft. Others will not accept them when outside temperatures are below 45 degrees or above 85 degrees, or in other words, during the most popular winter holiday or summer vacation months. Now pet owners have a choice. Pet Airways is the first pets-only airline. Animals fly in the main cabin with trained pet attendants on board to supervise and care for your pet along the way. Plus an easy to view tracking system, allows you to track your pet in flight. Pet Airways flies their pet passengers in the main cabin of their planes for only slightly more than you would pay to send your pet in the cargo hold. Their goal is to keep the service affordable so all pets can be safe and treated well. Fares start as low as $150 depending on the size of the pet and the distance traveled. Pet Airway’s mission also includes helping the animal community. Dan Wiesel, Pet Airways’ President, is committed to reducing euthanasia in shelter animals. As such, Pet Airways plans to donate excess capacity to non-profit organizations needing to transport unwanted pets to alternative shelters or adoptive homes. KONG shares Pet Airways’ commitment to pet safety and animal welfare, and we’re happy to help our community members learn about this new resource. For more information go to Home | Pet Airways
