A few days ago, Ms. Li, a citizen of the newspaper, called our newspaper hotline 8110110 to ask if you can check your dog by train or plane. If yes, what procedures are required?

The reporter called the customer service of the railway 12306 and learned that the railway can handle dog consignment. After purchasing train tickets, passengers are required to bring their pets to the Animal Health Supervision Office for animal quarantine certification one day in advance, and send the dogs to the station consignment department before departure, and go through the consignment procedures with the train ticket and animal quarantine certification.

It should be reminded that the cages for pets should be made of iron wire or steel bars, and cardboard boxes cannot be checked. It is best to have a tray for feces at the bottom of the cage, or tie it under a sack or cotton mat to prevent the pet’s stool from contaminating other goods. In addition, no baggage entrusted to the railway consignment shall carry valuables such as currency, securities, precious cultural relics, gold and silver jewellery, and archive materials, as well as items prohibited or restricted by the state, and transportation of dangerous goods.

The detailed process of pet train consignment is: passengers choose the train with luggage cart according to the date of consignment; go for pet immunization certificate; prepare cages, trays, sufficient food and water for pets in advance; on the day of consignment, the self-detainer himself advances Take the train ticket, quarantine certificate and self-detainee ID card within 3 hours and go to the luggage office of the railway station to go through the formalities.

The reporter learned that the precautions for pets checked by plane are as follows:

1. For the safety of passengers and aircraft transportation, domesticated cats, small pet dogs, birds or other ornamental pets can be transported as luggage. Animals that are too small (such as rats, fish, etc.) or too large (cage packaging exceeds the maximum volume limit), or wild animals and animals with strange shapes and easy to hurt characteristics (such as snakes, etc.) are not allowed to be used as luggage transport.

2. Not all civil aviation models have an aerobic cargo compartment that can transport small animals. Passengers who wish to check in small animals should apply when purchasing a ticket, or at least 72 hours before the flight takes off, so as not to travel.

3. According to the relevant regulations of the State Inspection and Quarantine Department, passengers must present the animal quarantine certificate issued by the quarantine department at or above the county (district) level when consigning small animals. The validity period is usually 3-5 days.

4. Small animals must be packed in metal, hard plastic or wooden containers that are suitable for their characteristics. They are firm and precise, preventing small animals from escaping or part of the body sticking out of the container, ensuring air circulation, preventing fecal overflow, etc. The packaging cannot be It is larger than 40×60×100 cm and cannot be smaller than 5×15×20 cm. Such containers are usually available in pet stores.

5. Each passenger can only check one small animal or a pair of birds. The number of live small animals checked by passengers on one flight must not exceed 3, so it is important to apply for the small animal transport space in advance.

The reporter learned from the Municipal Animal Health Supervision Office that pets need to open the "Animal Health Immunization Certificate", "Animal Quarantine Qualification Certificate" and "Transportation Equipment Sterilization Certificate", and must carry the pet's recent injection of epidemic prevention certificates when handling, and undergo relevant tests It can only be issued afterwards.
