My husband got orders to Germany and we are going to take our 35lb dog with us does anyone know how much it costs? I also have a friend with a 75lb dog going with her husband to germany. How much will it cost for our dogs if our husbands are in the army?
Answer
It's not just the cost of the flight. Rates are not published online as they are subject to change. You can call American Airlines at 1-800-CARGOAA (800-227-4622) for the most current rates. Below are other things that you must have and take into consideration before traveling with a pet. Since you are facing a PCS move you will also have to contact the consulate for more specific information on licensing your pet, selecting a vet, etc. while living in Germany.
Most airlines will ship your dog as cargo.
To fly into Germany, you'll need at a minimum:
Dogs and Cats:
â¢The original and 1 copy of a health certificate signed by a licensed veterinarian stating that the animal is healthy enough to travel by air and is free of injury and disease. The certificate must be dated 10 days or less from the date your animal will be shipped.
*A rabies vaccination certificate issued and signed by a licensed veterinarian.
Collar or harness and leash, a muzzle, a kennel not to exceed these dimensions:
Weight of dog and kennel cannot exceed 100 lbs (45 kgs) and kennel has to fit these dimensions Length+Width+Height cannot exceed 90 in (228 cm). Kennels must be metal and cannot have top loading doors. No straw, wood or hay can be used in the kennel, but must contain an absorbent material. The kennel must be leak proof. The kennel must be clean and cannot be odorous. The kennel cannot have wheels. If it does, they must be removed or securely taped so that the kennel will not roll. It must have a sticker on the top and two sides in letters at least one inch high stating "live animal." The kennel must have attached labels with the shipper and consignee's name, street address and phone number. It must hve attached labels with food and watering instructions, the last time the animal was offered food and water, along with a supply of packaged food attached to the outside of the container or attach written instructions from an accredited veterinarian to not feed or water the animal. The animal must have been offered food or water within four hours before drop off at the pick up site. The kennel must be marked with "this end up" or directional arrows on at least 2 sides.
The dog must have ID tags with owner's name and contact information and appropriate licensing tags (e.g., for rabies).
Specific instructions for the European Union are found at http://ec.europa.eu/food/animal/liveanimals/index_en.htm
Dogs will only be shipped if the temperature at point of departure, along the route, and at the destination is between 45 and 85 degrees outside temperature. In other words, don't try to transport in the winter to Germany. If the dog is snub nosed (pug, for example) it cannot be shipped if the temperature is higher than 75 degrees.

Airline to travel with dog to denver in december?
Gabriel
My family is planning to meet in Denver for christmas. It gets cold there. I was planning on taking my dog because I know he gets really depressed and anxious if we leave him in boarding. I have traveled with him before by airplane and all good. However, I am reading that if temperatures drop below 45 airlines wont take the dog as checked baggage. Has anyone gone through this? what was the solution? I don't mean to expose my dog to freezing, we'll coat him up. But how can I travel with him? I read about a acclimation certificate, any idea what this is? Any recommended airlines that specialize in flying into colder areas?
Answer
Airlines won't fly animals when the temp drops below 45 because while the temp is 45 on the ground it is way colder 30, 000 feet up. I wouldn't fly your dog as checked baggage because even with blankets and a kennel cover it can still be too cold for them. I would either buy a extra seat for your dog and ride with them in the kennel that way or board them for the duration of your trip.
