Pet Travel

Getting the time right is very important and even good vets make mistakes on this. According to  DEFRA it’s not more than 48 hours and not less than 24 hours to check-in time. Don’t forget check-in time is 3 hours before take-off.

Basically it’s two days before the flight. Watch out for Monday and Tuesday flights as treatment will have to be done over the weekend.

You can’t go wrong if the vet uses Frontline/ Merial for (Ticks + Fleas) and Drontal/ Bayer for ( Worms) .
