DIANE FIELDS

What are some tips for traveling

with my pet during the holidays?

Q: —Halie Fayme Griffin, Queens, N.Y.

A recent federal

regulation requires

that all airports

servicing more than

10,000 passengers

(including Chicago O’Hare

and New York City’s JFK)

provide pet-relief areas

for service animals.

A: There are many ways to ensure your best friend is comfortable on

the road or in the air. Among others, the ASPCA recommends that you

book a direct flight when possible, and purchase a USDA-approved

shipping crate (and mark it with proper identification) that allows

your pet to stand and sit easily. Pack food, a bowl, a leash, plastic bags,

medication, and travel documents, as well as a favorite toy or pillow.
