Recommendations that you need to take before your pet trip:
-
Acclimatize your pet on the kennel, leaving the pet inside during a time on a few days before its departure.
You can book your pet's trip up to 15 days in advance. But all pet reservations must be made 5 days before the pet's departure as a minimum time.
We maintain a garnishment period for the transportation of pets due to high flight occupancy in high season, dates to be confirmed.
