The Australian laws stipulate that the animal has to be able to stand and turnaround without touching the container. They will not allow two to travel together, and you have to get a certificate signed by a vet that they are fit to make the journey within a day. There are a number of things to consider about flying, and when I shipped to USA they were put in the cargo and not let out for 16 hours during the flight - just as well. When I shipped to Hawaii, no rabies there, he held onto everything, and as soon as he was out of his crate at the other end, he had a gigantic piddle. And smiled.
Pet Food Recall Information
-
Not to be the one always talking about toxins and dog food or anything but this link below takes you to a site with a listing of all the pet foods involved in the Mars Pet Food recall. Apparently, a PN plant somehow had gotten a rare strain of Samonella in the dry dog/cat food and humans were getting sick from it. The CDC reported that 79 people had been affected.
This doesn't effect me because Beegin's food isn't on this list, but in case it may effect others, I just wanted to let people know.
