Step 5
Comply with Flypets regulations when you hire the company. The company mandates that all animals have shipping crates that are large enough for them to stand up and turn around in, and must also have secure food and water bowls in their crates at all times. Crates must be labeled with the contact information of the owners, as well as the last time the pets were fed and given water. A current health certificate must also accompany your pet.
