Tips & Warnings
Send a few familiar items along with your pet when you hire Flypets.com to ship him to your destination. A favored toy or two, a beloved blanket and a handful of treats will all keep your pet comforted and calm while in unfamiliar surroundings on the flight. Some experts even suggest you include a used pair of underwear, so your pet will be surrounded by your smell.
