Travel to Mallorca with your Pet

It is everyday more and more frequent that people choose to travel with their beloved fur friends. Most airlines have adapted their regulations in order to permit pets in their flights, although it is very important to be well informed in advance if you plan to travel with an animal.

Here you are some recommendations for those planning to rent a villa in Mallorca and bring their pets.

Documentation

It is mandatory that animals have a passport where all the shots, treatments and basic information is shown. Before traveling you must visit your vet and make sure your animal is healthy. Your vet must put a stamp on the animals passport assuring it is healthy to travel. Some shots are compulsory for animals to fly.

Carrier

The carrier you bring must meet the requirements of each airline, but there are some general rules settled by IATA that everyone has to follow. Specially if your pet is not flying with in cabin, it is very important that you choose very well the carrier, as it should allow the animal feel comfortable, breath properly and drink water if it needs so.
