Do I need health and vaccination records for my cat to fly?
Posted by admin | Under Cat Health Thursday Jun 24, 2010I’m flying from California to Connecticut. My cat will be carry on luggage. I know the airline doesn’t require the proof for carry on animals, but I’m not sure about each state. Does California require my cat to have his health and shot records? Does Connecticut?
You could call both airlines and find out. In my own opinion, I would be prepared with up to date shots, along with all records.
With all the food products brought into the United States and people getting sick, I think their should be an enforceable law coming and going. This is not to mention toys and other such products.
What does it take to have a couple pieces of paper ready at check out time.
The airline will require that paperwork before they allow the cat on board. At least they did when I flew with my cats. I would have it with you just in case, even if someone told you over the phone that you don’t need it (you don’t want to get to the airport and find out that you do need it).
