You may not know it, but many airlines require a vet’s note before you fly with your pet. Make sure you get one before booking your holiday travel, or find out if your airline’s pet policy requires one. A few extra minutes double checking can save you a lot of travel hassle.

Essentially, airlines want a vetr’s proof that your pet is healthy enough to fly so they’re off the hook if anything happens to your pet in-transit. Since vet appointments can be difficult to get at the last minute, knowing beforehand whether or not you need to get a note is important. Check the airline’s pet policy for specifics, exceptions on short term travel and who you can contact if you need clarification on the policy.
