In many countries it is allowed to transport dogs by public transport. It must be placed in a special container or held in a muzzle. Pay the fare at the established rate. There is also a permit to transport dogs by public transport in the metro, suburban trains and land transport; it must be in a special bag or container.
If you are planning to travel with your favorite long distance trains or even better ones - planes, you will need to submit a document that will confirm the health of your dog. This is a certificate number one or number two. You can get it in the state veterinary service. The certificate will be valid for three days after receipt. With the certificate you can buy a ticket to the dog. During the design of the ticket should always inquire about the rules of transport of dogs in the transport, which are going to go. The rules are constantly changing, so writing about them makes no sense.
This includes the international rules for the carriage of dogs. Remember that each country puts forward its requirements for the importation of dogs to their territory. For example, if you come to the UK, your dog will have to go to a 6 month quarantine, before she sees another country in all its glory. In some countries, you will have to go through rabies vaccination. All the rules can be found in the country you are going to visit.
Having completed the necessary documents and having thoroughly studied all the rules, you need to prepare the dog for transportation or flight. The first thing you should remember is that when moving over distances, refuse to feed the dog. If you are planning to start early in the morning, then the last time you feed your dog in the evening, and in the morning just drink water. Dogs often sway in transport, especially when their stomach is full of food. Even if the dog goes hungry all day, it will not affect her well-being. The only condition is always to leave water so that she can drink. If you have to go for a very long time, feed the dog to a light meal, which will not lead to stomach upset. This food should be familiar to the dog. Go to the vet and find out what means you can give the dog from motion sickness. A vet pharmacy or an animal store can buy a remedy, however, if the veterinarian knows your dog, he can advise something powerful. If the dog is nervous and is always afraid of something, she will have to give sedatives. Some types of transport dogs can be carried only in the cargo compartment, for example, in an airplane. Not all dogs will like this. If there is no way out, the veterinarian can prescribe the right one, and your dog will quietly sleep all the way.

Then learn the engine noise. Growing up, the dog will connect in its imagination with the engine noise pleasant memories, for example, when you vmestes family went fishing and cease to be afraid.
