Dog Logistics

Hemi's crate arrived today.

Cost about £130 delivered, from these guys:

zooplus

We went for the Retreiver/Husky size. Looks to be perfect, although I think someone may disagree, lol.



I contacted Glasgow airport to ask about the arrival procedure. Basically, we just walk him in through the airport, and find a big trolley for the crate. Once we get to Air transat to check in, they will come and collect him. At that point we put him in the crate and off he goes. See you in Canada boy!

Not sure what happens at the other side yet, but I'm sure we will work it out. As long as we have his rabies vaccination certificate and vaccination history to show his age etc it should be fine.

Canada requires EITHER, a rabies vacc certificate, OR a vets certificate to prove he he is coming from a rabies free country.

However, he is going to a country that DOES have rabies, so it makes sense to get him vaccinated.

I have just done a deal with a friend, to swap my Mondeo estate for his 4x4, so we can get the crate in and get it to the airport. Will just dump the car at the airport ;-), lol.

So that's the dog sorted.

  2. We were wondering if we would hear him howling in the plane, that would be funny.
