Because of seasonal restrictions and airline documentation timelines, waiting until the last minute can severely limit your travel options.
High Las Vegas temperatures can trigger embargoes on checking pets in cargo. Planning around these months and considering ground transport reduces risk.
Not all airlines accept pets on every route, and some restrict breeds or weights, especially during extreme weather. Always confirm with the airline before booking and check kennel requirements.
A health check within the required timeframe (often 10 days for interstate or international travel) is critical. Veterinary documentation is often required by airlines even for intrastate travel.
Las Vegas summers are famous for extreme heat, and that has a direct impact on pet travel. Many airlines implement summer embargoes on transporting pets in cargo when temperatures exceed safe limits, especially from May 1 through September 30 due to the intense desert heat.
For pet owners planning to ship animals from Las Vegas, this means that peak summer months pose added challenges for air travel. Planning your pet’s transport for cooler months gives you more flight options and reduces the risk of delays due to weather-related restrictions. Our team can help identify the best travel windows and coordinate ground transport options when airline policies limit direct departures from Las Vegas during summer.
Before departure, make sure your pet is up to date on vaccinations and has a recent health check, which airlines commonly require.
Older pets or pets with health conditions may benefit from crate acclimation and hydration routines that reduce travel stress. Choosing the right kennel can help your pet stand, turn, and lie down comfortably; preferences that many airlines mandate for safety.
Because Las Vegas has higher average temperatures than most US cities, planning travel routes that avoid midday heat and reduce ground wait times is especially important. Your veterinarian can also advise on acclimation and documentation, which is vital for both domestic and international travel.
Yes. Many US carriers, including major ones, have policies that will not allow pets to travel as checked baggage or cargo when temperatures are forecast above certain limits (often around 85°F). During summer months, embargoes may apply to pets leaving Las Vegas, meaning alternative routing or ground transport is recommended.
Most airlines require that pets be at least 8 weeks old and fully weaned before travel. They may also impose additional age restrictions for certain routes. Always check specific airline policies when planning your departure.
City ordinances prohibit exposing pets to extreme weather and require adequate shelter, shade, and water during heat advisories. Leaving a pet alone outdoors in high temperatures can violate local laws designed to protect animal welfare.
While not required by every state, many airlines and carriers require a health certificate issued within a defined timeframe (often 10 days) before travel, even on domestic flights, to confirm your pet is healthy for transport.
Small pets that meet size and weight limits may fly in the cabin if the airline permits it. Cabin travel is often preferable during extreme heat because pets remain with their owners and aren’t exposed to external temperature risks in cargo.
Some airlines restrict or prohibit specific breeds, especially brachycephalic (short-nosed) dogs and cats, due to increased respiratory risk. Policies differ by carrier, so it’s important to verify these details when booking.
If a flight is canceled for temperature reasons, alternate plans such as ground transport to a different airport or rescheduling for a cooler time of day are common solutions. Our team helps coordinate these adjustments to minimize disruption.
