United Airlines Accepts Cats and Dogs Again!

United Airlines hasrecently updated their PetSafe Program guidelines for sending your furry friend across the ocean. If you are planning to move soon and bring your pet with you, you should take some time and read through these rules and regulations that might apply to your pet. If you don’t have a pet, but plan to have one soon, this information might prove very useful if you plan to move at any time in the future.

The new and revised policies they will implement will improve the safety of pets and their travel experience.
