Pets
Animals are not permitted in the terminal at the Greater Rochester International Airport unless they are being used to assist disabled individuals, or are in proper pet carriers.
PETS: Airline policies regarding pets vary widely and it is highly recommended that you contact the airline prior to making a reservation. Here are some helpful tips for traveling with pets:
Tips for Traveling with Pets:
� First, contact your airline to find out the rules and regulations they have on pet travel.
� Do not tranquilize your pet, as the effects of tranquilizers on animals at higher altitudes can be unpredictable.
� The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has set up rules and regulations for the transportation of live animals, and your pet is required to be at least eight weeks old and fully weaned before traveling by air.
� Whenever possible, book a direct, nonstop flight and avoid holiday or weekend travel. Try to plan schedules that minimize temperature extremes.
� The kennel that you use must be sturdy, properly ventilated, and large enough for your pet to freely be able to stand, turn around and lie down.
� Get your pet comfortable with the kennel prior to flying; this reduces stress on your pet.
� Give your pet food and water within four hours before your flight. You will have to sign a certification of the time when you last offered food and water to your pet.
� Give yourself plenty of time for check-in so there is no rushing and everything is done properly.
